Thanks Geoff. I'm pleased with the way the stars came out. Need to rework the sky background as it looks a bit blotchy with fresh eyes. I used DSS and CS3 to process as I've been having some problems with PI working on the XP machine. Might have to get a new laptop after astrofest.

Thanks JJJ. I was hoping to see some of the blue in the galaxy dust lane however I am happy with the star colours in this one.
