Brendan is going to have a web session with me on some suggestions on noise minimisation [which is very nice of him].

Thanks and bye!

Hi All!
I've been fluffing around with this image for a while, where I can see there are things I could still do to it, but I’ve given up for the moment on the tweaking [well until someone else gives me a new idea or some comments].
Cheers, and good luck today with the transit!
