Cheers Marc.

Processing can work its wonders on mediocre data, of course it has its limits. Deconvolution is the main driver behind the tight stars and rich details. Oversampled data and deconvolution go hand in hand. Widefields with a high arcsec/pixel combination are generally not suited to deconvolution. You can use it, but results are sketchy. Thanks again!

Thanks Louie. Perhaps soft, but it wasn't due to focus. At least not when using computer controlled focusing with FocusMax. The CFZ is nailed everytime. If anything, the softness you report is likely to be seeing related. Thanks for check it out and making comment.
