Just been on your pbase site and HiRes detail with the 6inch refractor is stunning and your M42 and Running Man colour and dust is stunning and the best I've seen.

All the best and thanks for sharing your great images.
Cheers boys, glad you found the rework and comparison a worthwhile quirk

I can't really imagine hitting the wall with the Starfire, very little of my higher res work was done in excellent seeing in fact almost none of it was, so a better site would make a difference (thank god for processing) we can see what the best seeing did for Anthonys recent mind blowing Jupiter image, imagine deep sky imaging that night . My problem is having no observatory and with just 152mm of aperture and at F7.5 time is my killer, hence the impending 12" F3.8 .....

John you are too kind but I am glad you found some of my results worthy of such praise, thankyou very much, while I endure significant hardship to get my images I am blessed with some amazing equipment that..?.. just performs ...the AG12 has a big reputation to surpass. As far as improving skills over the years goes, did you see this comparison
