Maybe a little vanilla at this stage, but thank you.

The stars are little bit powdery looking but
you did clearly pick up the needle thin jet:

Well done.

The needle is actually pretty easy to pick up..it often showed in my 130mm. That said, yes the seeing was just OK....bit like being stuck in a school zone with a F-1 car...

I've since tinkered with the image just a tad...a smidge of an unsharp mask has removed a bit of the powder
