Thanks Geoff. I've had a couple of tries at this but have never really been happy with the result. I'm beginning to think a wider field of view would make processing a bit easier as it is hard to know if the surrounding area is nebulosity or a colour cast.

That's a wonderful image. I love the presentation of the brighter stars - its so easy to get the "flat disc" syndrome and oversaturate them with a Newt, particularly if processing is overdone. That's subtle and smooth. Pretty damned good for city imaging I would have thought

Thanks Rob. I did end up clipping the white point a bit despite keeping a pretty close watch on this however the colour seemed to be maintained in the brighter stars. I'm looking forward to getting under some dark Duckadang skies to give this another try.

Thanks Marc. The Catseye and Bahtinov mask sure have made a big difference to the detail in my images.
