About this image

Inordinately proud of myself given the crudity of the set up and how windy it was.  My first close up image of these "lollipops".  Processed in Deep Sky Stacker, Pixinsight & Faststone.  Please don't look too closely, very noisy and blobby stars due to being in a windy muddy field.
