In spite of the weather I have managed to collect two panels of a six panel mosaic of the SMC.

I think I am getting closer to optimising data collection and processing. I could be deluded.

Hi Bert,
it's looking good.
I wonder if the black point is too low?
It seems pitch black dark to me.

Allan the advantage of very high signal to noise is that one can throw away a bit of signal to not have the embarrassment of fudging a background that is noise posing as signal.

If you like I can put up a 16bit crop to play with. Here 29MB

Thanks Bert,
I had a look at your 29 Mbyte file &
I couldn't find anything that I'd change.
The darkest point is reaching 23 on the curves adjustment
which seems perfect to me.

cheers
