Thanks Houghy (hey, did the repair work? ;-),Seeker (yeah dude,im workin on it),Ric,Jase,Skelty, Strongman (yeah, armwrestle next SPSP, OK).

Jase, Ha for a lumanence channel seems counter intuative, but I found it sort of works and allows 2:2 binning for SII, OIII without too much loss of effect for the later, whilst maintaining max res overall. I guess im after the most bang for the exposure at the possible muting of the other 2 frequencies. This way I get max signal with 2:2 without going 1:1 with double the exposure and maintain res. Eventually, ill drop Ha as the Lum channel and go 1:1 all up to get the best results.

Yes, its all a bit crunchy, and the noise is obvious at full res, but it was that or heavy clipping. I did consider not posting this for that reason, but sometimes you go with what you have, veiw without zooming please, ill do better next time ;-).

Mike, thanks for your kind words, yep, the S/H 10" was available now, so I took it, sure 12.5 or more is the plan, but that takes a LONG time to get. Perhaps true mega data will be possible with the 24/7 dark sky set up, but then paying customers will come 1st.

Thanks Guys
