Mike...hey the Starfires are still remarkable...and 'tip of the hat from you is always welcome

Pro track? What's that? I haven't even got around to using the PEC yet!

The web image is at 60% res. The full res .tiff is pretty tight....and remains a work in progress

It's really not very big

I suspect it needs a bigger scope!

(note to self: 2-3 hours Luminance and 1 hour of colour should do it )

Note to Peter: Needs a DFM or OGS 40" RC scope and a dark site about 1000km west of "The Gulch". Plus a rather large overdraft on the bank a/c!!!.
