Thanks guys, I am pretty close with the focus now. I know I should check it through the duration of the night as the scope changes angle and cools, but it doesn't look like it needs it badly enough at this point.
Malcolm, I stack and align the RGB in DSS, usually turn up the saturation a fraction (up to about 21% tops), a bit of highlight/midtone/shadow adjustment then save it as a 16bit TIFF. When I open it up in photoshop, I do all the things I can when it is a 16 bit still. When it comes to the actions that it doesn't agree with (I do these last if I can), I convert it to an 8 bit and carry on. When finished, I save it as a TIFF AND A JPEG.
I can go back and play around with the TIFF, but it's not really worth it with a JPEG.
