Thanks Greg. Maybe a bit purple in the end but its nice to be getting a little detail in the spirals come out. Loved your close in version too BTW.

I love the images I can get out Pixinsight Peter but its a lot more time consuming to get the cal'd images ready to go and aligned. Part of the reason (along with lack of flats) it taken so long. Still, was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Yep, exactly Doug - I couldn't get the energy to set up last weekend with the moon coming up to full.

Be great to see you both there Mark. Hope your powers of persuasion are up to the challenge! I'm heading up for 6 nights this year - fingers crossed for clouds and weather.
