Carole,
Just picked up on this posting can you email me the original images, to my home account. I will send a pm with the address, and I'll have a play and see what I can get.

Simon,

I've sent the original images to you, but I've just got a message back from the server to say your mailbox is full and some of the images have been rejected.

Let me know which ones you got OK, there should be 6 in all.

I have had to post this on line as your mail box is full.

How many came through as I've had another 2 messages saying the E mail was rejected Mail box full.

I tried to re-create what John did using curves, but I couldn't get any nebulosity to show.
What did you try Simon?

I just played around with photoshop a lot and made the background darker,the stars bluer, then tried the star brush on the stars.... yes i know it was cheating. I think the exposure will have to be longer to get anymore detail.... but as we all know it's just a learning curb. At the end of the day you aren't gonna get something on the image if it isn't there. That's why I cheated with the star brush effect.
