Thanks Rob. And thanks for pointing out the Nova! I had no idea it was there!

play around until you think it looks the way it should

Thanks very much for the advice Trevor. I take it you made these adjustments in PS? I'll have a bit more of a play with the levels.

You're probably right Daniel. I certainly will be able to extend the exposure time with my 18-50 lens as it only opens up to f4.5.

Yes Frank, this forum is a great source of advice! Hopefully with a bit more fiddling I can improve the image further.

It must be visible on original, have a look, I marked the rough position with a circle, there is a glimpse of it in the centre :-)

UPPS, I am not the only one.. Sorry, Rob, I did not have a proper look at your post
Thanks for pointing out the Nova, Bojan! As I said above, I had no idea it was there!

Cheers,
Stephen
