I don't think the star shapes affect the image that much.

Greg.

Thanks Greg I will have a look at that and see what I can do. I had really expected a bit more of the blue for the overall exposure time.

You've captured it well mate - congratulations

Thanks Mark, The golden stars do make it a very pretty nebula indeed.
