This isn't an easy object to process as I found out myself. I can also see the line on the right-hand side of your image which I also found in my own image. It's almost like a perfectly straight line where the Milky Way gets brighter.
I would perhaps lower the opacity of the lighten layer mode (if that's what you've done here) as it seems to give the stars a strange look.
Beautiful image Ross, your exposures and processing is outstanding.
Regards Paul.
Hi Paul,

What were your exposure details?

Thanks Humayun,
This photo consists of 10 x 10min subs at -20c.
It was a difficult object to process. I have just recently started learning Photoshop and I tried everything on it until it looked ok (..don't ask me to repeat it!..).
Also, I had problems when I tried to reduce it to 200kb for IIS. It was full of artefacts so I had to re-try it a few times. This is the first time I have had this problem. I suspect it's the latge number of stars in the photo.
That is definitely a Doodad if ever I saw one. Well processed, it looks like a skid mark.

Hi John,
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
A skid mark?...I didn't think I had Uranus in the shot!

It stands out well from the background.
Thanks Clive,
I'm happy you like it.
Yes, this Coonabarabran trip has produced me a lot of "dusty" shots. They are a challenge to process with my limited Photoshop skills.

Lovely work Ross, I'd be more than happy with that.

Hi Marco,
Thanks for the good comments.
No, I don't have a web page.
However, for the first time, I had problems reducing this photo to the 200kb limit for IIS. There were so many artefacts!
I think I might have to consider a web page for the future.
Coonabarabran is such a great location.
Ross,

I am quite jealous.
Hi Doug,
Thank you.
I'm glad you like the photo. It is such an encouragement.
Yes, Coonabarabran has really earned its keep this time.
I think I produces more photos in 4 days than in the last 2 years!
