Thanks very much Duncan.
As mentioned, the stars are a bit mushy. Not much I could do with trying to over sharpen them.
On a whole, just lucky to get out.

Thanks Darren!
Yes this is a great area for the galaxy lover. Like to get a decent summer where the blessed wind doesn't blow to get some of these summer targets with better results..

I'd say one of every galaxy type happening here by the looks.

Hi Jase, cheers mate!
I did actually apply extinction multipliers to my ratios, but over looked that I did have to do some gradient removal.. this I find from past experiences stuffs up any fine colour balancing...
I should know better than to post in a hurry before really looking at things with clear eyes the next day.
So I have had another look and agree whole heatedly with you here...
Soooo, have just adjusted things to look better, taking away that greenish cast about the central region.
thanks for that!

Cheers guys for your kind comments.
always appreciated.
