Cheers Rolf - yes, cropped it to get it looking just right.

Yes, although Paul H will probably disagree, I like the level of "noise" left in the image, makes it look quite natural

I think I really need a larger monitor to see it best though

Cheers mate! Funny how a bit of hiss in the background has that effect. IMO if you try to get rid of all the noise you will almost certainly end up removing some real information - background galaxies, faint stars and even globs around galaxies.
