A lot of cloud spoiled the subs on the 2nd night when I got the colour.

Really good Carole
I like the stars!
Thank you Noel. When you say you like the stars, do you mean the RGB?
Carole
That's a superb result Carole. Love the colours.
Thanks Duncan, really glad to have discovered this lens. I will probably crop the top out at some point, but wanted to show the full frame for star shape in corners feedback.
Carole
Yes exactly; I like the colours but looking at the Ha - the stars are nearly perfect right out to the corners, which is really good. Just goes to show what your lens is doing.
Noel
Thanks Noel, I have started trying to add RGB stars now to narrowband images, though it has taken me a while to find a decent way to process this.
Carole
That's a great result Carole! You should be well pleased.
Mark
Thanks Mark, yes I am really pleased with this lens after years of saying I am rubbish with camera lens imaging.
In this instance it wasn't a case of the workman blaming his tools, it was the imager blaming herself when it was the tools that were at fault. Lol.
Carole
Nice , looking forward to getting the fixtures to use mine,
Roger
Most excellent Carole - really good framing and colour palettes!
Roberto
