Great MW spread there ... could tweak the cyan highlights a tad maybe but still excellent

I found this site a few months ago and I have to say the wide field images here are second to none. Very well done.

Man I can't believe the response. Glad everyone enjoys it

In what way? Purely as a matter of interest since you're the second person now to mention the blue hues.
Also did you view the larger linked image or are you talking about the IIS one, because it's colours got hyper saturated during the upload.

To be honest, both look the same to me using a colour-calibrated monitor, and there is a bluish/cyan bias there on the brighter stars. I don't think it's the IIS upload causing it.

Oh *facepalm*

It's my browser that isn't showing the colour correction properly. Bit of a Googling shows Chrome's colour management has been horrendously broken for the past half a year. Apparently it correctly convert any image with an embedded colour profile to the monitor profile, completely ignore HTML colours rendering them as is, and then completely ignore images without embedded profiles rather than assuming they are sRGB. The site strips out colour profiles on upload hence the results in the picture below: both images are the same default colour profile, but the large one renders correctly, the IIS one doesn't, and the side bar looks like someone's drawn it with a blue highlighter.

Ok nothing to see here folk move along now.
