Don't get me wrong......if you are happy with that interesting colour palette then stick with it, as beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder.

I'm not however, even remotely inclined to process anyone else's data.

But if you want to produce images a little less "out there" there is plenty of photographic (not just astrophotographic) material that can be gleaned from resources on the web, magazines and bookstores to give you some, shall we say, more classical and less bold perspectives.

Palette choices, framing, shadow and light details and contrast are things you can tweak to make an eye-soothing image from the somewhat static vistas above our heads.

There is often beautiful subtlety in the colour of Nature's astronomical vistas. Preserving this can also reveal remarkable physical processes that would otherwise be missed with Neon renditions.

Subtlety can be surprisingly effective. In stead of loudly saying "You're great!", quietly whispering into someone's ear " I like you" can work wonders with your audience.
