All the best,

The wind buffeted many of my colour frames elongating the stars, and some of my Lum (Ha OIII SII) so culling the worst frames and star rounding were necessary ...so even though the result is ok it is mildly frustrating to know I am not displaying the full capabilities of the scope-camera combo in this result. The first night I used this system at my new place the conditions were quite good, no wind and reasonably good seeing and these images (crops) of tiny distant galaxies and galaxy clusters around NGC 253 were possible ...no chance of this on a typical windy night here though
