That's nicely processed Roger. The colours are looking good. Well done.

The image looks a bit out of focus which is a shame. But astrophotography is like that - 2 steps forward and 1 step back :(

Agree with Mark, that's a shame, but I had lots of images like that at the beginning. As Mark says

Quote2 steps forward and 1 step back :(

, and as you are aware on the nights my mount was misbehaving, even after 8 years not without problems.
