Very nice, actually quite dreamy.

Well done, I may have try that, it looks interesting. What did you use for stacking?

Deep Sky Stacker. It is a free download. You will have to take several hundred "light" frames, which are your normal frames and maybe 30 each "dark" frames (same exposure as the lights but with the lens cap on and at the same temperature), "bias" frames, which are same focus, aperture and your highest shutter speed with the lens cap on and "flats" frames, where you use a uniform white light source, I just use my laptop screen with a totally white screen, and a middle gray exposure. The bias and dark frames are used to subtract inherent noise and the flats are used to offset any vignetting.
