Thanks Rob. And thanks for pointing out the Nova! I had no idea it was there!

Yes Frank, this forum is a great source of advice! Hopefully with a bit more fiddling I can improve the image further.

It must be visible on original, have a look, I marked the rough position with a circle, there is a glimpse of it in the centre :-)
UPPS, I am not the only one.. Sorry, Rob, I did not have a proper look at your post

Thanks for pointing out the Nova, Bojan! As I said above, I had no idea it was there!
Cheers,
