The background is probably a tad blue to my eyes?

Thanks Mike.. Your`e right as I reloaded it back in PS and the blue is up slightly...Will have to fix that and bring it down a bit...cheers..

I really like the colour and detail.

Thanks Ian for the nice comment... I think I have the galaxy color pretty close, maybe a bit too blue...cheers

Thanks for that Geoff..I didn`t really frame it anyway but it looks nice like that..image is about 60% of original so it really looks like a floating island.with lots of tiny fuzzies everywhere on the full frame..cheers.

would it simply be a matter of exposure times + stacking?

i apologise in advance if these are stupid questions.

EDITED: forgot to say- awesome photo. galaxies look great, especially when they are oriented this way.

cheers,

hi DJ..thanks for the comments...
I can`t see why you couldn`t get the same amount of detail with a ED80 and DSI, you will only get a small field of view but should be more than the toucam..cheers Gary

Thanks again everyone for the comments...
