hi all,

had one clear night .. well a few hours worth of clear skies one night in about a month.

within that window I managed to get some more data to add to corona australis. I resisted the urge to shoot something new but i'm glad I added to this, looking back on my older version it was a lot noisier, this is noticeably smoother in the dusty parts and the seeing was better.

Haven't quite tamed the glob or star to the upper right but its a step in the right direction. I'll repro no doubt and maybe go for a close up.

I like the colour in the new version Rusty and the noise control in the main dust is better but I like the glob in the original.

Nice one Rusty, definate improvement overall, gathering the extra data paid off and well worth the effort.

no idea when the weather will allow anymore imaging, seriously a few hours a month consistently is getting out of control
