Hi Greg,
reprocess looks better and I'm sure once you have the mosaic together, it will look tremendous, at a distance.
I still can't get over how much gear you have and have had and while it's top notch stuff, I keep looking at your stars..
This image for instance appears flat and the stars look slightly out of focus giving a soft blobby look. This I've noticed on many of your images.
I think maybe your should take a bit more care with focus. With the FSQ you should be able to get pin point stars, resolving well down to even the fainter magnitudes. With 2 hours worth of data and such a fast F ratio, this should be well the case here.
If you're finding focus a prob, then perhaps a better dark site or pick the nights.
This is all imo btw, but I only say it as I see it.
I really feel your letting yourself and your great gear down.
When you get the CDK scope up and running, the 17" aperture will really test your conditions. If you can't get the vanes sharp in the image, you'll be loosing the focus battle again.
Take your time and let's see what this gear can really do.
