Thanks Mike. I have figured out after forty years in science that current best practice is exactly what it purports to be. Just current best practice that can and will be improved incrementally. The three million dollars worth of equipment in my laboratory at CSIRO was tweaked to the nth degree over many years so we could collect the best data on the planet. We could get better data as far as signal to noise was concerned than setups at the biggest synchrotrons. The big synchrotrons now use methods developed in my laboratory. I am using all the knowledge I gained over forty years to apply it to astrophotography. It is a slow process groping in the dark for some nuggets of better methods. Perseverance and constant attention to detail is the trick. Most of all though is to go out and do it! And practice practice practice
