Thanks Jase,
I think I will buy GradientXterminator.
I used Fitswork4 & that helped a lot as the gradient was quite bad.
The problem is that the secondary mirror is not quite centralized with the focuser
& of course shooting from a light polluted location.

I would have got more subframes but I couldn't force the EQ6 mount to
do a meridian flip & the OTA was nearly touching the tripod legs.
I still imaged past the meridian until that point.
Normally the EQ6 mount will realize that it's on the meridian &
when I go back to park & input the target it will flip automatically.
This time it wouldn't do it & there is no function in the Synscan handset to force a meridian flip.
It's available in EQMOD but I haven't loaded that program.

I had a good look at your website & the pics are amazing.

cheers
Allan
