Thanks for the encouragement Jase - wishing I'd got a bit more data if things had clicked on the night, but its a never ending source of amusement the crazy things that happen at a dark sky site "in the field"

Must be a different Dave... you convinced me about the merits of megadata
Cheers Dave - I must admit I'm more inclined to give myself an extra day after an extended field trip now to start tackling the processing. Actually I'm out tonight trying for "mini mega" data on NGC 6188 after depressing cloud in recent weeks. Take what you can get!

Because of the seeming endless clouds here in Brissie, I've found myself reworking data over and over again just to get my fix!!

Thanks for checking it out Mario.
Yes, its amazing what you can do with experience when you revisit old data, especially if it was collected well originally. Keep those repros coming please
