Thanks guys,
Mike thanks for the correction. I knew the darker cloud is molecular but had though the faint grey stuff was cirrus. Learn something new all the time.
Your light bucket ought to gobble this up nicely. My tiny little scope needs hours and hours to keep up.
Greg, I don't think the stars are overblown as I think I did not take much care with controlling the bloat as I normally would do. I did a fair bit of stretching and neglected to take care of star bloat. I take your point though on sub length, but think that depth would be missing if you only going 5 minutes in sub length. I feel there is alway something to be lost when using short subs to gain a few stars from blowing out. Signal strength and overwhelming the background noise I feel is more important in the scheme of things. Many people seem to use short subs, but there are a few of us that dare to be different. Mathematically I am sure short subs are correct, but I do like the extra detail I get from longer subs. Perhaps I should put this to a test one night just to settle this.
