Running man looks good and your LMC image is also very good.
Looks as though your local conditions were a little on the soft side. Your focus looks good though, so don't be afraid to apply a little selective sharpening just to the stars.
Some saturation and a touch of contrast can also do wonders applied in the right places as well to give things more dynamics.
All a case of taste.... and all jimo of course!
BTW, your new location, are you near the ocean.?? if so watch out for when the swell is up, this can cause some pretty iffy conditions.
All the best

Thanks Rich ... I suspect there was some high cloud around that night so probably a bit soft but impossible to see with dark skies ay ... except when the stars suddenly dissappear
I was going to do some more shorter exposures for the core of M42 but cloud cover from the west brought the session to an end.
My place is about 90kms inland to the north east of Perth ... the main problem so far has been the strong easterly winds when it is going to be a hot day. Generally the humidity is pretty low out here which is good. I've only been here for 2 months so far so it's all new.
Cheers
