Greg, re color, I didn't touch the color, just made sure that it's well balanced out of Pix. I think that it's quite loyal to the source, as I had been imaging the color frames as much as possible at zenith. The avg. humidy around 30%, and high transparency.

Regarding the star sizes - it's a somewhat oversampled system - 0.464 arcsec / pixel, so in long exposures the stars get a little bloated. However, if I'd shorten the exposures, I'd be losing the very tiny 2-4 pixel stars throughout the image. Overall, I like the varying star sizes, which help give a more 3D-ish feeling. But... it's eventually a matter of taste :-)

Thanks for looking and sharing these invaluable insights.

Cheers,

Colour is always a hard one.

Interesting about the stars. Come to think of it when I have seen similar stars in my scopes it has been heavily undersampled as well.

Its not really a big deal and as you say its a matter of taste and effect.

Greg.
