Cheers Andy, glad you liked it!! And ...

Might be worth another look at those.
Aaaargh!!! How did I let that get past me!! That's what happens when you stare at an image long enough - you get blind to it's faults. I also rushed it a little. Anyway, don't apologise for giving honest and constructive feedback - you were spot on with your critique! Hopefully it's fixed now - at least improved. BTW, those stars were all saturated during the 15 minute subs. I'll go back to search for other clangers now! Thanks again!
