I had fun with the live session today. Using FireCapture was critical as I can now adjust gamma (as has been suggested multiple times). This has made a huge difference in the Quark both in live preview and post-processing. No flats applied yet.
The session today was mostly at about f14 with the focal reducer and either at 152mm or stopped down to 95mm (I had left the mask on by mistake...AGAIN!).
I'm also getting more pleased with the post-processing...so thank you all for your suggestions. Please keep them coming.
Cheers,
Jack

Hooray!!!!
I will do another quark test but now that I can adjust gamma and am getting more proficient , I am wondering if I need to try and return the quark for #3 or stay with this one.
Thanks for the encouragement.
