looks good to me Martin, appears like you've picked up a fair bit of the faint stuff whilst good detail in the brighter areas.

cheers

That's a great detailed close up! Love the framing. Any link to full res?

Very nice Martin. I like the colour you've gotten there.

Thanks All,
Much appreciated
I thought the colour needed a bit more saturation but that tends to hide the fine detail
Pretty happy with the outcome with only 3 hours of data
I don’t post anywhere elsewhere so don’t have any links to full res file
Cheers
