Thanks guys,

Glad you all liked the image. I wasn't to sure if I over did the image processing on this image, as Tornado33 said, it looks a little like an oil painting.

The dark frame subtraction in IRIS has really made a big difference to how well my images are turning out. If you don't already have an image processing system, I'd recommend IRIS (after all it's free and developed by an astrophotographer). When I first looked at IRIS it wasn't intuitive enough to begin using straight away, but after getting the initial gist of how it works it has all become clear now.

Anyhow, thanks again for your inspirations and kind comments.
