Hi Richard,

Good observation! That is what one nice thing about CCD imaging... you can
easily neutralize and darken the background, even in very light polluted skies
(although that can get tricky). And... you get instant feedback so you can see
if what you did looks good or not.

Anyway, thanks for taking a peak and for the nice comments!
