Very nice indeed.  Personally I think the star spikes are a little overdone for my taste but acknowledge these are a "marmite" thing; you love them or hate them.

mate i haven't added any star spikes, i have an f/5 scope with 1/10 PV upgraded optics this is how the star spikes are

me being totally honest i have noticed that the collimation is way off in this image, i purchased a laser collimator and  i have now corrected my optics so onwards and upwards from here, i would just like to thank everyone of you on here that has taken time to give me feedback you have helped me more than you know so thanks :-)

There's a massive improvement from the first image. it just goes to show the importance of post processing and calibration frames. Really well done....you should be chuffed to bits with that image.

Re the star spikes. They are always going to be massive on an image with such bright stars. There not to my taste as I think that they dominate the image, but that's a personal preference. Its still a really great image though.
