Amazing pic. Whats the blue haloed star in the top left corner? I cant see such a halo around any other stars in the field (I'm not an imager - 'please explain'?).
( surely this one must have hurt just a little bit!!  )

Thanks ladies, it is always nice to receive comments from you guys, makes me feel...?..complete
Kezza, the blue halo around the that star is just an optical effect from the cover slip on the chip, the light bounces off the front surface of the chip , hits the cover slip above it and reflects back down on to the chip surface, the curve of the field flattener causes these halos to be off centre in the corners.
