Scott,
After having spent a long time looking at the image, I think I did the right thing by keeping Jupiter in there. It's not there all the time, as it makes its way along the ecliptic. I will try again for this region next year, though, and put more time and effort into it.
Thanks for the compliment, mate.

Bassnut,
I noticed it is a tad orange, as well. We can never be happy with processing!
Cheers, mate.

The diffraction spikes from the lens diaphragm look spectacular.
I can assure you, your images would stand up very very well in the widefield categories at the DM awards! You should definitely should enter. Your work is stunning.

Gary,
The tight stars, once again, are a testament to the quality of the lens and of the mount. They're an awesome combination.
Thank you, sir.

Hah, you're right, I've never seen Jupiter look so good, either.
Thanks!

you really should consider puting some of your shots in the Malin comp' thier certanly up to it.
Should have the GM200 mount sorted befor your next visit and give some narrow field stuff a try.
Great stuff

Mike,
Thank you!
I did notice after a while that the image is a bit strong in the orange. I haven't tried downing the green and upping the blue, but, it is certainly something I will try when I get a chance, or if I'm bored enough to reprocess.
The Nikon lens is spectacular. At F/4.0, it's just awesome.
Thanks for the compliment and constructive criticism.

Have you tried dropping the green just a tad and upping the blue..? Not a critisism at all just a suggestion.
That Nikon lens looks to be a keeper too!
