[Octane (Humayun)]

Rob,

Thanks! I'm glad I got it all working, too. Just waiting on my RoboFocus to be repaired/replace and then everything will be automated.

It is such a joy to work with data that is clean and free of perceptible noise. Although, this could just mean I'm not stretching aggressively enough. Time will tell in future reprocess jobs.

Cheers!

Seriously though, that's just candy to the eye - pretty pretty please can we see a higher res?

Edit: Oops - you did of course link to a bit higher res - just drinking it in now.....

Doug,

Nice choice of words, lol.

Thanks so much, mate! This should have happened at Border Stargaze last year (on a different object, perhaps), but, anyway, the ball's rolling now!

Good stuff Mate. Keep it up.

Trevor,

Thanks!

Dr. Paul,

Thanks, heaps!

Have taken your advice on board and will be applied in a future reprocess.

Cheers.
