Bert this is a fantastic presentation of this area, the huge number of stars is really impressive and rather than detract from the scene they lift it IMO and showcase the depth of the image, our galaxy is after all full of stars!

As has been mentioned it really must be viewed at full res and then shrunk on your screen to fit, then it looks brilliant.

I pulled it into photoshop and played with curves to reduce the green cast, especially evident in the left half of the image and accentuate the blue a little, the resulting image was full of yellow, orange, white and blue stars with delicate nebulosity visible and the blue reflection nebulsoity was slightly enhanced - it looked beautiful.

WELL DONE

Mike
