It is also a 1:1 crop with some unsharp masking - maybe a little too much in retrospect and the sub-frames must have been too long as the stars are burned out too much - but nevertheless similar to your own image.

clear skies
This image ilustrates exactly what I was talking about, Paul has chosen the right eyepiece for his telescope (so to speak) and the resulting view is very asthetic.

Great shot Paul
