HI Rob Dog not burning out the core is easy - only 5min with Ha and a 16bit CCD leaves a lot that's able to be extracted. DDP is a useful tool too and Astroart, that I use, has an excellent version of this filter.

No need for David to watch out, his work with the AAT and UK Schmidt was incredibly impressive, this is only a low res version of one of Davids signature M42 shots but gives an idea of what the full res image would look like :

Thanks Alex

Where's that image of yours be nice to see that (since you have already released it )

However...as for my full frame Sword shot...in this case you will just have to wait for the finished product

Heard about your new FW yet (I put in a good word for you - hope it helped )

Mike
