May I be so bold as to suggest that your image would look better not being so heavily cropped.

Helix, just floating around in space, is very appealing.

Hi Leon,

No problems, only one problem I have not cropped this image at all. It's straight from the 20D on the LX200R. I guess I could try adding a focal reducer to increase the field of view. There seem to be quite a few objects where the extra field of view improves the imagine by putting it into perspective with the surrounding sky !

Adding the FOV setting to Stary Night gives you some idea of the FOV verses the target image.

Still lots to learn !

Thanks for your comments

Chris
