We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

That is a very fine image Dave. I can see some of the gradient artifacts in it so it must have been a complete pain in the A to process. I have always found that gradients are worse in the rgb images than lum and as you say I also try to avoid them.

One thing I have noticed over the last couple of weeks, even without the moon the skies seem quite bright, moisture reflection?
