As mentioned protecting the stars during the processing needs to be done. But the detail is terrific.

Greg.

Thanks Greg, yeah it was a long break, but good to get back into it. Thanks for the feedback, I'll have a play with the stars.

Very nice and thanks for sharing the larger version Erik

Sure, there does appear to be a bit of a blue colour cast over the field but funny, while it would probably be good to see a little more colour variation, (especially the HII regions) across the galaxy, if you look at many past photographic shots of NGC 253, it did often look pretty blue

Thanks Mike, and nice image. I do like the HII regions in your image, adds a bit of variation which mine lacks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and tips
