Thanks Ross, it is a challenge now and then I do intend to run the scope at a shorter focal length again, it was at 2180mm until I got the ST8 meaning the previous reducer no longer worked. Hoping an AP reducer will let me bring it down again soon. 0.62 arc sec/pixel is unmanageable and it's a shame to waste bin 1x1 as unusable.

Thanks Martin ... you may be very surprised to hear I did actually include capture of colour shots in the scripts (rare for me!) but alas, I incorrectly scripted one colour so am waiting for moon and weather to improve before capturing the rest of the colour... so, stay tuned I promise it will come this time
