Thanks Mike. I suppose globs offer the best bang for the buck--short exposure, easy processing, easy on the eye.

Thanks Rick. As Mike points out some of the blue may be exaggerated to offset the red giants, since I took the total star field as the white reference.

Best,

Thanks Mike. That would be my guess too.
