Thanks all for the comments. Really appreciate them !
Thought I'd put up this version. I have the same shot but with stars over in the Deep space images. It's interesting the difference between shots with and without stars, and how people react to them. I do like stars, but in the end I think what an area of sky actually looks like is what a famous TV philosopher (not Eddy Macguire) calls our "take home reality". Nothing is absolute.
It's taken me ages to get to this stage - trying narrow band type processing on shots taken with my OSC camera and duo filter. It's one hell of a learning curve - star removal, luminance and colour combining etc etc etc. But loads of fun and I've learnt a lot more about PI
My first few weeks at this were disastrous. I was getting rubbish images and horrible stars. So I then got on to star removal. I'm still struggling with it. The next step will be putting nice RGB stars back into it.
