Thanks Andrew. Yeah, I kept green to a minimum . Its odd, some times starless looks so wrong, other times neb backgrounds especially suddenly jump out and look quite different.

What FL were you imaging at ? Was it done with the RC 10" ?

Not criticising by the way ... it's still one of the best M16 images I've ever seen from an amatuer ... detail is great
Thanks Steve.It was at 2250mm with the RC and croped a bit. Yes, the stars are not perfect, I dont quite know why they are worse on the left edge yet. Its not always like that. I use a rotator a fair bit, I may have flex in the very long image train.
