Beautiful shot
I find seeing that many stars in a shot a little hard to comprehend..Boggles the brain
Thanks for posting

Thats a lovely image Bert.

I noticed you have not cropped the image on the top side...this can affect your Histogram greatly if left as is whilst processing...may be worth redoing the image slightly cropped....otherwise it looks great to me.

First image below is your current image..notice the clipping of the histogram
2nd image all that was done was a tiny crop of the image...the histogram is much better now.

I didn't make any changes or enhancments to your image..just wanted to show what the histogram looked like.

Like I said the image looks great anyway but it's something that does make a difference whilst your achieving maximum enhancement through processing.

Boy Tony (Itchy) will be proud of me.....lol

Hi Bert,

Very nice indeed. Stuff everywhere.

Well spotted Tony (Striker). My only excuse is I was up all night and processed the data once it was in ( the time on the file shows 02.39H). I must watch for that thanks. Just goes to show none of us is infallible.
Thanks

Bert
I am going to have a beer now so I can do it all again tonight.
