Cheers Ric but I don't think Hubble has anything to worry about...her Helix image was downgraded by crappy Earth bound data collected by the crappy 4m Blanco reflector

Mate with an 18" and cooled CCD at your disposal I would expect you will have no issues producing a great image

Well thanks Paul, like many of my better images I tend to come back to work on them periodically over many months, always tweeking them to eek every bit out of the data I can...I am a slow learner but I more or less get there in the end
