I have no idea Paddy.  But if Patrick Gilliland thinks my colours are too bold, then maybe there is something amiss!!  :wink2:  

Seriously, I had a look around the t'Interweb.  I didn't find that many versions.  The best ones I found were: http://annesastronomynews.com/annes-image-of-the-day-spiral-galaxy-ngc-4395/ and http://www.bf-astro.com/ngc4395/ngc4395.jpg 

My version was loosely based on those, especially the first one (the second one seemed to have a touch of the greens).  I didn't 'manipulate' the colour in any way other than the usual stuff and some (minimal) PS saturation techniques.

Do you reckon it is off?

Haven't got a scooby on this one never seen before.  The colour does look fine accross the image using stars as reference - more curioisity than comment.

Utterly gorgeous. The net consensus and the rest of the image support your blue arms (which have something of the Legs of Man about them!) This is a perfect capture and a perfect processing job to my eye, and the target is a thriller.

Jings.  To whom do I make the cheque payable, again?

Seriously, thanks very much Olly.
