It's been a while getting anything done with all this **** weather than a whole load of good nights come along at once !!!

This was taken last week after I'd sorted out all my troubles.  It's an initial process as I have to get rid of some haloes around many of the stars but overall I'm very pleased with the way it's come out.

Very nice Robert - at least it will be when you have re-processed it.  As you say, the haloes are a bit prominent.  I also think the Wall should look a bit more vivid than you have it - it is very toned down in your image.

The data is very clean with lots of lovely detail!

Agree with Mark - Tons of detail waiting to be uncovered but looks a little 'weird' the way it has been processed - not enough contrast or something..

Very promising though & good to see you using the MN.. :-)
