You have handled Eta itself better than I, looks great

Thanks Mike. Yes, I have seen your excellent H-alpha Eta image before.

Agreed, downsizing (even Hubble) images can make them look like they are just average res, but I figure 1400 by a 1000 odd is big enough for public forums.....and is larger than many of the posts here on ISS.

My estimate is: the RC was delivering about 4x (in area) smaller stars than you've linked to.

Sure, the focal length and AO helped quite a bit IMHO, but the seeing on the night was pivotal.
