Thanks Glen.
I think I had worn myself out by the time I posted last night and it showed.
I need to get it together and stop letting these little things get to me..I don't usually let things get to me.
Looking on the bright side the fact is I imaged until 10 pm and the clouds only took out maybe 90 subs all up...I gathered data in all channels and had something to play with....and looking at each stack now I am rather surprised and happy to have got so much in such a short time. ..it's only about 20 minutes approx per channel which is almost nothing.
Moreover I at least know what I am doing or not doing these days...certainly once I would not have noticed the small imperfections in the stars for example...plus no mask to focus, no dithering, no darks or flats and wrong file format, and crazy high gain...I got away with murder really.
And as to focus I think I may have been too harse with noise reduction..at the time I was more focused on getting rid of the noise and actually noticed a loss in detail which I should have not accepted and opted for more detail and lived with a little more noise...and having a mask no doubt comes into it.
.... getting a mask that works with that scope is a must...heck I have the EAF but from there it is guess work.
