After posting my recent M27 here and on other forums, I got a few suggestions on how to round out my stars (only a couple of subs had elongations) and trying for more of a teal color. I finally got around to reworking it. Both versions can be seen here:

Not sure I'm there yet, so any additional thoughts are surely welcome!

Regards,
Larry

Much nicer.

You can also put a lasso around the main object before you do the star rounding so it doesn't affect the object. Plus you can use edit>fade to get an even smaller or more exact rotation.
