Thanks for your comments gentlemen but let me offer my excuses

I went into robot mode after mid night and tired as I was did not sleep well and I should not have attempted processing so early this morning...

I was rushing to just get a result post it and try and get some more sleep... my plan it to start over from doing a cull with my wits about me and more attention in StarTools...May be I stacked my culled rubbish?

What does concern me is the first night I had little contrast which I put down to light reflecting from the ceiling perhaps because the lid was not openned all the way plus the lap top throwing out light...well last night I openned all the way and also put the lap top in a box to eliminate it's stray light...however the subs still seemed poor to be honest...and last night I refocused regularly but I am starting to think maybe the dew got at me..I did not check but had the dew heater on but dew seems the only answer so far...maybe I disconnected it or something..I will check into that possibility.

Anyways I am too tired to do anything at the moment...

Also the stars were much worse than we see here and I had to use the repair tool in StarTools to settle them but as you can see not really a good fix.

But most of all thanks for your input.

I will take a rest today so I can try some different things tonight and work out if it's dew or even perhaps the camera....hmmmm I just had an idea.. maybe that oil on the sensor problem ...that fits the pale subs I expect...but I am so tired I will have to rest before I can make it to the observatory...I bet it is the sensor cause my "Lenspen" arrived two days ago and me being a lucky man tells me it has come to get me out of a hole..

Thanks again good nightAl ex x
