Looking good Brendan

The only thing i personally don't like is the green background on the right and bottom.

For the rest it is looking good

Nice result Brendan.
There is a slight green tinge on the right and bottom as Mill said but overall a very pleasing view.

Very nice shot Brendan. Cool colors and natural look in the processing. Like it a lot.

Nice star field. Probably does need some work on a calibrated screen but still its very good.

A slight green caste on the right of the image but other than that this is a fine image. I like the nebulosity and it shows how much imaging has changed in this country in the last 7 years. Nice work Brendan.

Nice

Round stars, good nebulosity, what more could you ask for

Well im in at the uni and ive taken a look at the image on the dell monitor EEK. now i see the green on the RHS. *shakes head* shouldn't do the processing on the lappy screen!

So as to keep Sidonio tradition! the mighty PS CS3 Sidonio actions had to be initiated!

Hope the image has changed for the better!
