Thanks Doug. Yeah looks like it but I haven't. With moon glow it was too noisy to deconvolve or sharpen to start with. I think the JPEG compression in the small version buggered the dynamic range and the stars.

Thank you Tom. I've seen some real nice Ha shots of the area on the web. Definitely a lot of neb around.

The revised version looks nicer.

That's the thing. It's the same file but saved differently. I shouldn't have posted the small compressed version. I bit the bullet and I'm making a small obs in my backyard. SWMBO suggested 'a shed' so I jumped on the opportunity and will start pouring concrete soon. It's now or never. I'm sick of hauling the whole scope and mount back and forth. With all the collimating and testing of late it's running me down. I need something fixed to work efficiently and align this whole rig properly. Then I'll be good to move around off site.

Thanks Grey. Yeah it's great to use.
