Thank you very much.

Alas, the weather forecast has changed, and while it is only a forecast, prone to changing in just a few short hours, I am in with the chance of 4 or so straight clear nights...so I might just get to finish this.

Jase...no minimum filter required. The proper combination of luminance and Ha took care of the stellar widths. In fact, I only followed up with deconvolution as an after thought (just 30 iterations of Pos Constraint). The challenge of course will be to blend the RGB while maintaining those tight stars.

I know what you mean....I have already cropped out massive reflections imposed by Alnitak....I do not plan on expanding the FOV. However, it is amazing what moving the scope a little and then taking some short frames achieves. This becomes a 'patch' frame to mask this stray light....I've got those frames, but dont intend to use them.

thanks for the comments all....I appreciate it v.much.

Ooopss...its clear, and its dark....time to cool the optics and roll back the roof!

cheers
Martin
