I think balancing against the stars is pretty valid and the result is quite nice.

Thanks!

This is the same procedure that I mentioned in the PM but this time I used the galaxy as the White Balance. Possibly gives a truer colour as it appears a bit reader from memory.

EDIT: Just compared the two and they look largely the same to my eyes, just a different resolution.

Hi Colin,

Yes, I tried both ways and got essentially the same result too. I've made a new version that I'm happier with and replaced the 2 photos on Pbase. I've left the IIS jpg small version as original in case anyone wants to compare.

Thanks for your suggestions,

Peter

The subject is fantastic. The image is really nice but what I find most interesting is the detail reached!

Cheers,
