Thanks Dave and Mark

Mark, still a long way to go like all artists I'm still not happy with it.

I hope you got out last night the weather we've been having of late we could see all of October having relatively clear nights.

That linkn doesn't work for me. I get the pink and blue circles rotating and then nothing. Perhaps it take a really long time to download. How large is the image?

Greg.

This IIS posted version is much better than the version on flickr, the stars are round now rather than square, looks lovely . Can you flatten out the brightening in the centre though?

Mike

Maybe it's your browser security settings. You have to enable yimg.com and yahooapis.com as well as flickr.
