Thanks Jase! Wanted to do 2 hour of the horsey last night but that pesky high cloud came to visit...maybe tonight...cheers

That is a stunner shot too, well done.

Thanks Gazz, Can`t wait to try some long exposures.

I agree with the others that the different exposures have captured the core and outer dimmer stars.

How did you combine the different exposures? Did you stack similar exposures initially and then use layers in PS to combine?? Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks browndog... you have got it right there! I stack all the same length exposures together then I just layer the shorter exposures in PS. But only the actual part I want to layer ( just the very core for this shot) using the selection tool and feathered as well..
cheers Gary
