Well this is amazing!!

Ivo Jager noticed this thread yesterday and picked up on my comments regarding the noise problem I was having with this dataset. He contacted me and said that he had a few tricks up his sleeve with an upcoming release of StarTools and would I mind if he tried some of these on my data. So I sent him the data and within a day came back with this result which he said was a quick play with the data.

I was truly gobsmacked on two counts when I opened the email that contained his version of my data. Firstly I was struck with just how much he'd improved the detail and clarity of the Helix including the surrounding faint nebulosity and secondly I can't believe that this sort of data is possible from a hill in Brisbane!!

Amazing, just amazing - thank you Ivo!!
