Hi Jase / Frank,

Thanks for the comments.

Frank, you are correct about the background, I did not take the background as close to black as I normaly do as it subtract from the data of the target. More than likely due to the limited data that I collecte on the night. As Jase pointed out, the image gives a hint of the possiblities if I was was to collect a lot more data, photons, from the target.

I was very supprissed the image turned out as well as it did as I pushed the camera to 1600ASA with 7 minute exposures with very resulting single images VERY noisy.

Will add some more data in the future.

Thanks Again
Chris
