A very nice image there, lots of detail and a wonderful result for only 48 mins.

Lovely image, it's been my target for the past few nights! Impressed you managed to keep the core with 4 minute subs, or did you have shorter subs to?

Thanks Ckemu, yes I took some 40 sec subs for the core and used layer masking in PS.
