Publication Project - Silhouette Spread

This is my idea for the silhouette spread, whereby I explain that it's hard to spot your fellow astronomer at night. The starry background is the result of twenty 30-second exposures taken in my backyard, stacked using Deep Sky Stacker and then tweaked in Photoshop. On top of this I have added vector drawings of a scope and an astronomer in suitably silly hat. A friend of mine who works in magazine design said I should set the vectors to C40, M40, Y40, K100 to get an almost spot-varnish black on black effect. I want it to be pretty subtle but I don't want people to miss it.
