I appreciate your kindness Paul.

Again all cracker images - just an observation

I agree that the ASA image has tighter stars and more detail. I believe this is because of multiple reasons: 1) RHA/FSQ had longer exposures, 2) the seeing was poor, 3) the star I chose to focus the RHA on was too bright (mag 4) thus making the Focusmax routine not as tight, 4) more aggressive stretch of the data in the RHA/FSQ image.

I know, I know .... excuses, excuses. Oh well, I'll keep trying!
