Thanks Ric, it was a shame I had the meridian flip because things weren't going too bad 'till then and I don't like trying to continue shooting from the opposite side of mount etc.

From Ric's comments I guess you can continue to add new data via fresh images to reduce the noise? Does that require very accurate reframing of the subject for future exposures or is it easily aligned in software later?

I will probably just start a new image session all together Robert and take at least an hours data. It is however possible as you and Ric say to add new images via software stacking and doesn't need to be super accurate positioning but obviously if you like the composition of the image already then the closer to the original setup the better as far as keeping that. Hey it's all good practice. One day I would like to try some mosaic imaging to widen the field of view of the ST2000XCM and that would require more accurate positioning but I'm not there yet ..... always something new to try and learn.
