Gee lots of colour Louie :painting:nice! Some good detail too, a pretty good result from a city sky!.. I am not a fan of the star shrink used though, is that Russel Cromans Star shrink..? It is almost always very obvious :shrug:..bit like Decon can be.

From bright city light that's pretty good. We can see the Galactic Fountain structures coming out.

Hey Rick,Colin, thanks guys....glad I was able to stimulate your retinas with this unorthodox version.

Loads of detail Louie and colour is vibrant. Smooth back ground too.

Hey thanks Paul....It's out side the box I know.

You've come up with a good result here Louie. Shows that imaging can be done through light polluted skies.

Thanks Rodney....appreciate the feedback!although,I think PW has already proved that....we just don't know how he does It.
