Default summer sky of stars

My first attempt at stars in the night sky from a London suburb. Despite the orange light pollution( tinted the orange to blue) of the sodium street lamps. But the stars are a little streaky. These stars have like a hundred different names all over the planet.

Looks nice to me. I think you did an excellent job with the color change.

Nice shot and I like what you did to the color. It looks like you captured the big dipper. Thanks for sharing.

You could always photoshop the stars back to round but the coloration is awesome.....would be interested in seeing the original and see what you did to end up with your final presentation...beautiful shot
