It's certainly a different game, producing an image where the stars are literally the whole point of the image! Its so unusual shooting a target like this after shooting nebulae and galaxies...

There's a completely different mindset required from exposure to processing.

I'll be doing Omega Centauri this year... and a couple of other star clusters hopefully - they've never been targets I've focused on, but I think, what better way to learn to properly process star colours without blowing them out, than to process images where they are the 'star' of the show!
