Hey good stuff Steve,
now your going great guns!!!
Your processing looks real good imo!

Now, just the next step, concentrate on your focus.
It's just not quite there in both shots I noticed.

I generally wait till my optics are well cooled to the ambient, then spend about 15 minutes getting focus right. Even with auto focus.
I always do short tests shots to ensure the smaller stars are nice little pin pricks.

When I was manually focusing, some times it would take me a while, but the end result was well worth the effort.

These test shots also help to see how the object is framed to get the best out what your imaging with surrounding features.

Other than that, your leaping and bounding ahead.

Cheers
Rich
