Thanks! Glad you enjoyed looking.

If its the later then not much can be done, but I think it is most likely the processing.

Good smooth detail though with nice shaped stars.

Paul, Paul and Marcus,

Thanks for your comments.

The saturation of the stars could not have been avoided as all subs were 30 minutes. With the FSQ in dark skies at that exposure, nearly all stars are saturated.
My plan was to go deep and get the detail rather than concentrate on the stars.
Like I said, there is always a trade off!

Focus must have been perfect! Well done

Thanks Ken, much appreciated!
