Alex, I fully agree I was pretty light-on with the text. My excuse is that I just wasn't in the mood to churn out another War-and-Peace saga for an image I wasn't really happy with. (And no doubt I've disappointed oska as well.  )
I'll make sure I have the mojo for a good slab of text to go with my next image.
Cheers,

Steve you really need to be happy with all images...it really makes the game enjoyable...I have nights where the result is not flash but it is still a night of being out there...and each time you learn a little...and I like my images...I remember where I came from and my worst image is now way better than I could ever see producing...
If you want to push it ...dither after every sub and drizzle when stacking...take a 1000 and stack the best 500...only image an hour before and after zenith...use a baffled dew tube..refocus every15 minutes....and use only Kodak film.
You are doing well so see it that way and enjoy the journey.
Alex
