You are certainly picking up waves of Ha and other gases very well.

Greg. i do not need packing i just move the ITS on it's lateral dovetail. i need to move the current ITS setting a tad down and a tad to the left. As Mike said i could chase my own tail without an image to show for it!

I have now done a 64 minute exposure without any gross obvious movement.

This bit was easy as I had rotation with the SMC nearer the SCP. A careful T point realignment solved this.

It is difficult to optimise this system but the results are what make it worthwhile.
