Hi All,

Thanks for the comments.

Yep, I really needed to redo this one. I processed it late last night, and it looked OK then, I promise.

Here's a redo. A couple of notes though.
There is a significant Ha background in the whole area, it makes it hard to set the black point without the image looking noisy. It's also why most of the stars look red.

There is an artifact from the guide star in the centre of the image (the blue flash). I don't really want to remove it as I like it.

The clipped black point is sometimes an artifact of the light pollution removal tool I use, in this case use to remove reflections from street lighting (yes, it's a low target for me), but I didn't check. This one is better, but it'll still look that way.

Cheers
Stuart
