Nice pic Ian. Good colour and showing lots of potential targets for the postage stamp crowd.

Thanks Hugh, Rick, Mike, Rod, Justin, Geoff & Marc ..
Glad you like it …
I have to admit that collecting data and then processing of this photo was one of the most challenging so far.
Thanks again

I made a couple of attempts and the FL of 145mm on the 70-200mm lens was the best fit.

Thanks Pat,
I used 70-200mm Canon lens @ 145mm with STT-8300m camera.
As far as the light pollution goes, I think I mentioned this before, I mostly take shots in the S-SW direction, as I have only Indian Ocean in that direction, that is, manageable light pollution .. the rest is done in PixInsight (eg. DBE process) etc.
