Cheers Peter, yeah I am really beginning to see the benefit of having a lot of data. Really does make a difference in being able to bring out the fainter details.

Thanks Mirko, yeah I had to work a bit on the colour and I had what I thought was way to much colour in the stars. Was doing my best to control this. I really need a proper monitor screen to do the processing on. I don't think my laptop is good enough for accurate calibration. But yes I like the area around Rigel and the Witch Head too. Can really see the light reflecting off the Witch Head in the direction of Rigel.

Thanks Josh, glad you like it. I spent many hours working on this image, I have 25 progress versions of it saved! I hope I am not the only madman out there that does that!

Was this at F4 or did you have to stop it down a bit?
I've tried this with an APS-C sensor at 50mm and had to stop down from F1.8 to F4 to reduce CA and coma.
Yours looks great from this point of view too.
Well done

Hey Bob, thanks, I am glad you like it. Yes, same gear used (Canon 6D, 70-200mm f/4. I stopped the lens down to f/5.6 to reduce CA and coma.
Before you shoot and put hours into an imaging session, just check your settings and see what works for your set up. Some lenses might be ok being stopped down from f/1.8 to f/2.8 for instance. While others may need to be stopped down further. I would expect that you 50mm f/1.8 lens stopped down to f/4 should give a great view with little CA and coma. But you may not need to stop it down that much. Maybe try f/2.8 and see what it looks like, it may be usable at that focal ratio and you will get a lot more light in less time. Hope that helps!
Cheers mate.
