I love the 533, purchased about 2 years ago as my first astro-cam and still going strong. The smaller FOV has its uses.

Did you use BlurXTerminator in your processing.

I processed this a couple of weeks ago - but have been playing around with BlurXTerminator recently so very likely yes. I've noticed the difference can be dramatic with some images (particularly if there were issues with tracking or very poor seeing) but don't think the difference was that profound with this image. For comparison, I've done a quick re-process using my previous deconvolution method (EZ Processing Suite EZ Decon). I think the BlurXTerminator version is a touch sharper but it's very close.
Would also have used NoiseXTerminator (although I think that is less controversial?)

Thanks. I tend to use 60 second subs or shorter when imaging broadband. The downside is you end up with a lot of subs to stack, but fortunately with the relatively small image size of the 533, this isn't a big problem.
