Real nice. One thing I'd like to get a better handle on is how to cleanly shrink the stars a bit more. I seem to get haze round mine. :? Great shot, the color module works so much nicer now :thumbsup: On AstroBin one can pretty well tell who's using ST's now on galaxies at a glance. :!:

Thanks
I'll fess up to what I did for the two brightest stars in this image. These are 15 minute subs and the bright stars bloated and had haze to a considerable extent. All the other stars were tightened up in Startools. As for the two brightest ones, I took the image into PS and replaced them with two dimmer starts of similar color from elsewhere in the image. Call me a cheater ;)
