Really just a problem caused by the fact my old PhotoShop version (5.5) can't load FITS so I have to convert them to TIF and then adjust levels/gamma .... so I lose information. Hmm. Money money money.

Interestingly there's clearly a edge-on galaxy in the top left. I've attached a brightened version to show it clearer.

Viewing was pretty bad, Rigel was blinking on and off like a strobe light.

Het Roger that's a good image mate! How'd ya get the stars so round with a LX200 classic?? wow!

Yes that is an edge on spiral in the image, it shows up ok in my Luminance too - I think I had beeter seeing ?:
