Thanks Fred and Geoff for your comments.

I really like your colour weightings too. Very pleasing.

Hope I live long enough to do a mosaic of the area.

Very best,
Mike

Thanks Mike, that would be a huge project for you to undertake. It is a huge field of view but all of it is very interesting.

Actually you are not that far away from what I have seen. Thanks for the comments and keeping producing images yourself.

A really attractive photograph mate. Well done.

Trev

Thanks Trev, my goal all along has been to produce images of the same or better standard that I saw in posters when I was young. I always thought those posters were interesting.

Same as you, I didn't know about its existence until I processed the image.

While it is not real bright in broad band light it does show up quite nicely with some variations in colour. Interesting stuff. Thanks for clearing up the name. I will check my charts to see if that correlates.
