Cheers Steve Yeah, this was a kinda fill in image, you know wanna do something quick and easy but interesting, in less than ideal conditions. I went for this field to show two faint galaxies near a lovely bright orange giant star, in an attempt at a near-and-far composition..bit of fun and interest We take what we get and I also think I processed the stars to be nice and "bright" because I wanted them to shine a bit, like the giant star, rather than sharpen them too much to compensate for the seeing. So apart from the below average seeing this may be contributing to what you describe as bloat

Cheers

Mike
