Hello Brian,

I cannot say anything else except that it is a stunning image.

The stars' color is natural, and they are all round. The processing looks very careful, and you even revealed some neighboring galaxies.

I wish I could take images like this when I was beginning.

Your image is stunning. Clear Skies!
