On the DEC axis Simon. Very smooth corrections!
I love the way the clutch works, a refreshing change.
I hope I can have the same success on the RA.

Clive, Laplacian is a setting in Nebulosity.
Don't ask me where it sits in the suitability stakes or how it works.
When the seeing is above average, it just works.
Sometimes it survives even 2 successive iterations of it without too
many stars with halos.
Sometimes Registax V3/4 Wavelets work as well, but never better.
EP smooth is just Edge Preserving smooth (level1-3) in Paint Shop Pro.
Again, because my method is so rough as guts, I try what works best
on the night.
Sometimes median filter works better, sometimes EP smooth. It's
all variable according to how many frames I got and the seeing that
night....and how good the focus was.

HTH,

Steve
