A lovely image Paul. To me it has nice detail and colour and the stars are spot on.

Cheers

I enjoyed all your images posted Paul. They contain some nice detail, though I feel the colours are too heavily saturated (personal opinion) which detracts the great resolution/contrast you've obtained with your set up. Perhaps the colours would hold if the data was stretched further, I'm not sure without trying this out.
