It's not the amount of photons that count...it's how you use'em

Cheers John, I had troubles with the stars due to the wind but there is something going on in the lower left corner. Some of it is image rotation (I checked the unguided tracking the other night, seems my Polar alignment is out, better tweak it next session) I think but I suspect, as I have said before, I need to tweak the collimation/tilt one night to get it spot on. Thing is, I'm just imaging time starved so I don't want to lose imaging time to fiddling for hours after setting up and having to pack-up
anyway... the amount of distortion is small and I can live with it for now
