Thanks Ahmed- yes it was a massive improvement but as mentioned it was tinkering with the sharpcap settings as much as the better seeing conditions. The other thing was the frames selection in processsing- some handy tips taken on board from the gurus was very helpful as well.
As for the hand ground mirror- I cannot take credit for that as it was made by a very clever man who knows more than I’ll ever know in this field. It was built primarily for visual use but I’ve since butchered it to shape up as an imaging rig. Far too heavy really but I’ve persisted this far with it. One day I’ll take the advice given and go for an easier to manage scope!
Cheers
A
