So pleased to see you not doing things in half-measures.

Thanks for your kind words H, glad you liked it. Yeah no half-measures here, I enjoy spending adequate time on each subject.

Thanks Roger, I am also quite happy with this contrast myself, complementary colours!

Thank you Mike, looking forward to your version then! BTW, I was actually quite surprised by the amount of 'live action' when imaging this. There were some 7-8 MP trails in total, though I haven't identified them yet. There is lots going on when one is imaging with a big chip

Thank you very much Cam, yeah it does look like that indeed, it's a beautiful piece of sky to photograph.
