Hi everyone

This is all I have available ATM so what the hell? Have a go at something faint anyway. Didn't expect to get much so this was a nice surprise, especially as it filled the frame well.

5 minute dslr frames @ ISO800; a bit noisy. Wish I'd left it longer.

So, c'mon. Join the 6" f8 club.

Thanks for looking and clear skies. All comments most welcome.

It's beautiful, nice image

Really like that- agree about the noise, but I think the processing is nicely balanced, and I really like the star colours.

Really nice.  Well done.

Awesome image! I would be over the moon with an image like that!

I think people, both the imager and the viewer, can get a bit het up about noise and do anything they can to eliminate it - often at the expense of the overall balance and detail of the picture. 
 

Because of the digital world we live in people assume photos and astro images should be free of all artefacts but when you try to eliminate them all you can lose the ‘feel’ of the scene. 
 

This  is a really nice image, well processed with a nice balanced look to it. Stuff the noise - it doesn’t detract from the quality.
