Thanks Keith - I couldn't decide if M21 helped or detracted from the image, so thought I'd have a bit both ways.

Your repro is a vast improvement on your first one. It pays to keep good data. Ones skills improve with each image you process, you've come ahead in leaps and bounds.
I love this image.
Ahahh!!! The power to blink stars out of existence! I'm too tired to try right now though must confess. Maybe another day. Loved your starless M42 though Jeanette.

Nice improvement though

Thanks Mike. I'm a lot happier I've done about the best I can with the data (for now.... ).
You're right about resolution - with my rig I get about 1 arc"/pixel, but that slight crop is already pushing things a bit far really. You certainly don't every get to "swim around" in the hi-res versions of my shots. Oh well - at least I'll have plenty of room to grow (when I win the lotto....)
