It does have a fair amount of grain, not sure if it's worse than before. But you can do some things to reduce that. I took this shot with it in December.

Dave,

Yeah, I still use unhypered PPF medium format. I think it's still OK. 

Last year when I used some of it hypered, it had weird green fogging problems. See below and move mouse over and off:

I removed the green fog in Photoshop with one masked curves layer. I painted the mask by hand. This image has 14 layers total, which I think is the most I've used for any image. Do you think most astrophotographers would have given up on this frame?
