While I have yet to solve for the reason that my stacked image is cropped, I decided to process as is. I feel like I need more practice as the fine tuning level but I like the level of detail coming from the Celestron Origin. I'm always up for suggestions, critique and tips.

Hey Bob, I asked Mike Lewis to give you a hand with the WBPP, I have real limited time right now.

I will say that I really like the detail in this. The Andromeda gets a rap as being easy to image and process since it's so bright. But it's actually one of the harder galaxies to process in my mind because it is so bright in the core.

Keep this up and I will need to be selling my Seestar and buying an Origin!

Thanks Jim. And don't worry, we all get busy and I should not be your top priority!!! I'm liking the detail I'm getting from the Origin . . . I just need to keep progressing with Pixinsight.

Not really and then I moved on. I was able to use the Origin generated TIFF file which had some good data. I expect, I will try again with new data aquisition as a comparison.

OK - I KNOW I saw this same type of behavior recently when I was quick processing some data but I just have not been able to either recall the details or reproduce the issue. Sorry about that. If I stumble into anything that is related I will be sure to loop you in. Your results seem to be not suffering though as you are making great strides in your processing from what I have seen here.
