Thanks everyone for checking it out.
It does look a bit off colour and lumpy especially in the compressed jpg with a new set of eyes tonight. Thanks Elio and Greg for the processing thoughts. I find galaxies a challenge, particularly when you get down below 30 degrees altitude like this. As Rick and Dave have told me - I need to get up a bit higher out of the dust to make life easier of course
I really wanted to bring out the blue star fields and a hint of the red Ha nebula regions. Think I need a calibrated monitor before too long too. Always some gadget to lust for in this hobby!
