Cheers Greg, those are very kind words indeed, it takes forever to do these images but it's a labour of love

I do like the composition though, and the star colours look good. Though I found I did not need to use RGB stars on this object because the stars were easily pushed to show natural colour. Your blue stars are better though and that comes with the RGB star addition.

Cheers Paul, the stars were even more "pure" before I added a final Luminance layer to it, I used three in all, including one in "darken" blend mode that worked a treat.
As to colours? I knew that would be contentious but honestly it just looked the best with the data I had, and I tried a zillion combinations and looked at yours, Fred's and others versions before settling on this one. However, I appreciate that it's subjective and as you once said, dealer's choice
