You certainly did have a ball. I particularly like the Helix. Well done Allan.

I did pick up on you humour Mike. Not senile yet ! I really loved his Lobster neb really maximising his use of the remote observatory - maybe thats what you should do with your shift to Canberra.

Thanks Alan. I think we all bagged a few that we dont normally image. At the moment Im reprocessing a I can see there are some that really deserve better.

Thanks Marc, but I learned one lesson. Get 2-3 times more data than you think you need. Makes the processing far easier and does justice to the image.

Thanks Paul, I've reprocessed them all and more happy with the images but won't re-post the Sidonios but the data allowed better and smoother images as well as more subtle use of colour and detail. Just getting the data is the first step and processing the other half of the equation.
