Cheers Mike, I was thinking the core stars looked more "white" as such but this morning I see there is a very slight almost cyan halo around some of the brighter core stars making them look a tad blue..hmmm? Looks ok still I recon ...meah, might have another shot...or just leave it , thanks for the feedback

Beautiful shot. I really like the full frame version; pleasant gentle colours and overall feeling of hope/positivity? You even got a hint of a spiral galaxy 'beneath' the nebula.
Yes saw that galaxy (?) Slaw, it's not on my planetarium star chart though, anyone have any idea?
