That's looking good Fay, well done persevering with DSS.

This one looks less noisy than the original version.

Excellent Fay - that has come out really well.  A good tail as well.

Oh thankyou. it is a trial when you have to put a little circle around 30 subs and then it does not work at the end.........a dozen times!
