Excellent Russ, a lovely subtle region that with some nice sparkling stars.

The bright stars seem to ahve a diffuse halo around them, is this from the filters?..doesn't matter becasue it looks great actually

Nice work, sometimes it gets lonely imaging by yourself all the time, especially out in the middle of nowhere in the open just you and the sky dome above, I know, the radio and yes even mozzies can become very comforting at times ...I like to sing opera aria's sometimes (at a medium level only of course, there are farm houses with earshot on a still night)

Mike
