Thanks Greg :-) They're both definitely better than my first attempt at processing the same data.

Watch the residual star spikes on the starless version - (they can easily be cloned out).
The moody presentation suits the subject too - well done!

Thanks Andy :-) Yeah, 1 & 2 are growing on me too.

I made very little effort to clean up the starless one, only thing I did was mitigate the big blue spots left behind where the stars were... I made no effort to clean up the "luminance artefacts". If I ever take that image seriously I'll try and clean up those artefacts too, though I think cleaning up what's left of the bigger stars will be difficult.
