I do like the pastel shades. Very nice.

Considering the light pollution you have Carole that should be an inspiration to others.  I’ve been lucky where I live but like many others I’ve watched the skies deteriorate over the years. Insecurity lighting seems to standard in the countryside now.

A very good image 👍👍

Very nice image. How much time was spent on the processing?

Doesn't look very faint to me!

Two to three hours approx.  My stacking software -Astroart - is very fast, so most time spent with Photoshop, Registar and Images Plus.

Just meant generally and should have added the lesser imaged targets.
