Then 3 nights of beautiful clear skies and good seeing.

Ouch! I bet you used a few choice words when that happened!
Is it an easy fix - eg a fuse? Or is it a hard fix - send it for repairs?

Thanks very much Greg! Much appreciated! Good seeing helps with the stellar profiles of course. I've completely changed my workflow now too thanks to StarXterminator. Essentially, I process the starless and stars only versions separately. Relatively minor mods thereafter when recombining. This pretty much eliminates having to deal with dark stellar halos when boosting the Ha signal in the subject, especially around blue stars. It also avoids collateral damage to the star colours when adjusting the subject nebulosity.
