If its better than your previous attemp then its the best one.

well said Jeff. It reminds me of a talk at the first Lostock IIS camp where the same question was asked, "does one process for scientific accuracy, or to make it "look better"?

As for the images here I think one 1/2way between would be the best. The image scale closely matches my 10 inch f5.6 newtonian too.
