Default Spot lights on Corona Australis with less noise

Thanks for all the nice comments regarding the first versions guys but tonight I changed my mind and although it wasn't too bad the noise was in fact slightly bothersome in the first versions after all

No substitute for having lots of data in the first place but just shows what modern image processing techniques can achieve if you are pressed for time

Hope these look more pleasing?

Tim Tucson, that's not M7 but a distant globular cluster

oh my... stunning. Could the GC be NGC2808? It seems the right size and mag and it's in the right ball park.

Kind regards
Matt
