First time out in weeks seeing not wonderful but managed a few avis just before the clouds rolled in, some more to process but these looks the best of the bunch. Thanks for looking.

Still nice images under the conditions Simon - do you use 3X drizzle in AS!2..?

Up untill a couple of months ago I shied away from it but if the data is reasonable (and this looks a candidate) I found it really does help at times.....it can take far more aggressive sharpening without the limitations 1.5X or no drizzle imposes - mind you, that's necessary as there is a general "softening" by interpolation/drizzle anyway but downscaling in general restores any clarity loss in creating the larger-scaled images and this method can allow for more histogram manipulation as well as "style" of processing: of course different cameras may behave differently...

Wow! What equipment and method did you use for those? They are stunning pics

Thanks Darryl, will give the 3x a go.
