Wow overwhelming response guys, very cool
won't reply to everyone (I'm lazy) but I did read'em all.
Rolf - The Halos are still there, depending on the Brevil blending the halos vary in intensity and yes I processed them
down but not out (no matter what I do I don't like the look of the completely de-processed star halos)
Interesting animation Bert but I am not quite sure of the exact reason, are you just showing where it is in the larger field..?
Marc - there's no up or down in space
Brendo - go for it, it's there for the bagging
Marcus - I sense some trepidation in your voice
Alex - off you knees mate, I am still on mine

..when this image wins me a ride..?...on Richard Bransons space ship
THEN you can get on your knees fella
Thanks all for the nice comments, especially frojm those that found it hard to be positive about a couple of flying lizzards in vomit narrowband
