Well worth the effort and I bet there was a bit of a learning curve as well. Nice.

Not bad at all Roger.  A lot of work as said to combine, but it will get easier the more you do it.

Star colours and size are better than some of your recent images, but try not to burn out the core of the stars when stretching.  Do you move the white slider in Levels as this can cause this problem.  Only use the black and grey sliders.

Well done.
