Hi Dick,

I appreciate the kind words on this. I was hoping for a little smoother image given the extensive exposure time and was a little disappointed because of that. The Luminance data looked pretty good and that got my hopes up . But as you said - I can always get more data.

One thing that I did like, was that I'm getting a handle on the AO8 and I like some of the things it does. The guiding *is* better even at extended exposure times. And the smaller track box seems to help when there are multiple stars available. Admittedly rare at 2290mm of focal length though.

I really had fun collecting this data too. Galaxy Season is a *great* time of year !

Regards

Bill
