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

I'd love to see the single 5min Ha full field...

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

)
