Adam,
Thanks for the in depth video explanation. I guess it would have paid to maybe take a closer look at a wider angle of M33 before getting too critical. I'll need to go back and revisit my master frames and do a bit more/less processing. Would have enjoyed seeing you at AIC this year but have to punt as the wife just had a hip replacement recently.
Rob/Paul, thanks for the advise. And yes, STF is cruel after DBE. I tend to stretch my images using Masked Stretch but that may end up being a bit too extreme but I do like the tighter star profiles.
Thanks again all.
Steve
