I spent a bit of time on this one, but over all wasn't totally happy with it. the flats that had been taken i don't belive where of good quality and i have to re do the darks, also all of my images shifted the same amount in the X direction for some reason, but ill do more testing to figure that one out!
See what you mean about the stars Brendan, but heck you've got fantastic depth in a very faint object there plus fantastic star colours. You'd hardly call that a write-off. Leaves behnd anything I've ever been able to get on the Rosette in the dust!
That's a real cool shot Brendan. Awesome colors. You could salvage it with the star rounder in PS. It's a plugin that will offset your stars in X or Y and make them round. Try it. The shot is definitely worth some tweaking and working on.
PS: I did a really quick and dirty repro on your full frame to show you what the star rounder can do. It can be done way better but it's just to show you that you can work it out really.

Reason: added repro
Nice one Brendan. Stars are a bit stretched but we will always have a cross to bare when imaging.
The star rounder plug in may well help.
What's "the star rounder plug"?
Brendan, really nice. I had this one lined up on Sat night myself until the battery died. Same setup as you, but getting nice round stars with the WO FF IV if you're interested.
