Ok serious, I would perhaps up the contrast and sharpen it just a tad, but it is a nice starless rendition really, becasue of the FOV it kinda doesn't even look "starless"

Well you know me Mike. Always ready to shoot something new, original, never done before. Seriously M8 is right up, it's bright in Ha, easy to find in a finder and great for testing. Thanks for the comments.

I ring Fred and he comes over with his eraser 2.0 Nah just the PS healing brush. CS5 has a content aware tool now. Pretty cool. Glad you like it.

Good piccie Marc

Thanks Carl. You've nailed it. With the PC and the NSW new privacy laws relating to public use of photos you are not allowed to take pictures of other star systems without their written approval.
