Agree with Greg, though, would look much better if you can tease the blues out. : )

Thanks Mate, It is so hard to know which way to go with the processing. I will give it another try and see what I end up with.

Thanks Paul, it's all a big learning game and I feel I am starting to get the feel of it.

The stars is my only real criticism. Stars have been my bug bare too. I know how frustrating getting stars round is when imaging in longer focal lengths.

I reckon one more decent crack at this and you will have it nailed.

Stars! I am starting to hate them, at least when you add a bit of focal length to the equation. I will give this another go when it sits on the opposite side of the meridian. Maybe even get a bit longer exposure next time.
Thanks Paul

Thanks Marc, I will give it a go when I free up the laptop with the files on it. At the moment it is busy building a dark library.
