Thank you all for the comments.
Mike you are a funny man.
Trevor, I constantly marvel at how far all amateurs have come in the last 5 years; let alone the last 10. Equipment and careful attention to details is what drives most of us. Personally, everytime I fire up the scope I just try for more detail, sharper images and better processing. I find that comparing images of many other people helps with the colouring of these images. The main thing for me is that this is all fun. I like imaging in varying capacities, but it has to be good fun.
For guys wanting to know how to get better images, I work on this policy. Not saying my images are better than anyone elses (in fact they are in many ways not great). However, I try to take as many deep subs on one target as will allow. Images get really smooth after 10 or so subs. Lots of darks are also important especially this time of the year. And; more importantly I have found that going more than 10 minutes produces very good signal which when combined with the numbers of subs cancels noise quickly. I gather this is somewhat the same for the true astro cameras too. For DSLR's though I stick to this rule.
Thanks once again.
