If you're interested, you could take that image, process it, and then submit observations of at least a dozen variable stars. I'd be willing to help out if you wish, as doubtless would a number of other BAA-VSS members.

Pretty picture and scientific data, what more do you want?

Thanks but not sure VS are my thing. Notwithstanding, would be interest to learn more.

It's as well as, not instead of! May as well get your name in the historical databases...

Got your mail., will reply.
