A starless one for a laugh

No cats round here but you can see where they've been - the rats eat them all. I am so tempted to get into my library of cat jokes but that would just be to un'pc.

Had a play last night but only got Ha data before the sky went west - so I had a little play today with just the Ha data. Synthesized a blue channel then synthesized a green and consequently the stars were rubbish so I took em out. I got this which might be worth a laugh. As you say David the weather next week looks questionable but if it is any good i'll put some real colour behind it and maybe even leave the stars in.
