Gee lots of colour Louie 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 ..bit like Decon can be.

Yeah thanks mate....Lum was crap so went with the colour thingy bobby ....you like oil paintings?

Ah the star shrink....should be more careful using those plugins mate!
Hey,you didn't mention the careless halo reduction work....you must of had a long night

Anyway Mike,better seeing tonight so I'm out trying get some decent luminance so I can get back to reality

Thanks for dropping by though!

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

I like the colours too, Louie!

[Atmos (Colin)]

It has a really deep colour that is quite pleasing

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

[Paul Haese]

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

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

[Ryderscope (Rodney)]

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

[atalas]

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

Nice and colourful Louie, this is one of my favourite galaxies. Good job from city skies.
