Very nice Ken.. great colours and sharp detail!! Is that the whole field of view? or is it a crop?

Great work

Thanks for the kind words Roger, Barb & David, Alan, Doug and Alex the images were cropped first to remove the border from all the stacking. Also the Lagoon ended up a bit off center so the left side of the image was cropped. Colour balance is something I am still learning but if I can get some different colours in the stars I am usually happy.
Clear skies Ken :)
