I have to agree Trevor, It's a bugger of a target to get just right, and you are nearing that mark, nice work.

Nice one Trevor.
It's very easy to burn out the core of these bright globs, but you've managed to keep it in check - well done.
More please

Very nice Trevor, Your improvement is noticeable. This is a dificult one with the tight core being burnt out very easily. Well done.

Well done. Good balance between the core and peripheral stars.
