Nice Gary.
Both of them.
I like the detail in 253.
A question though about the star spikes. Are the vanes on your spider offset as the star spikes aren't equidistant around the stars or equally sharp. In the Helix image you have clear spikes only coming out of the bottom of the stars (and less than 90 deg to each other) and the top pair are blurry. In the 253 image it is different with the spikes out one side wider than 90 deg and the other side showing short multiple spikes?
