Thanks for looking and commenting – I appreciate your comments.

The image looks a little too “dreamy” compared to what I think it “should” look like due to a combination of on-the-job learning and the use of noise reduction tools to offset the noisy background from not enough data.

Rolf – thanks for the heads up concerning the plotted position in SNP, I have SNP Pro Plus 6 although my field use Notebook only has 512Mb RAM so it really struggles with SNP.

Justin – I probably won’t go for the whole set although if Gerald loans me the ST2000 for a while longer I’ll definitely try to image a few others!
