I wonder what caused the small black smears? Otherwise still an absolutely stunning image.
Brilliant work Steven.

Cheers Daniel.

Daniel that looks like noise reduction artifacts.
Steven did you use noise reduction?

[sjastro]

Daniel, Martin,

The black streaks (around the brighter stars) are due to the blooming removal software.

The ST-X10ME is a real champ for severe blooming.
