Good to see the RCOS performing well. Nice round stars too.

I did not know an STL6303 would bloom stars - isn't it an antiblooming chip? If so perhaps you need to set the antiblooming setting. I believe they are adjustable on an STL camera.

The Ha blend has given you a salmon pinkish colour which is the result of combining Ha with LRGB as another layer?

Rob Gendler has some techniques about blending Ha on his website.

Others have generated their own approach. It is worth working out a method for blending in Ha with LRGB otherwise the dreaded salmon colour
is the result. Ideally your Ha combination technique produces nice deep red shades of colour without red speckles in the background and without wrecking star colours! Phew. Not asking much eh? Also it can be used to enhance detail and showing the presence of background hydrogen gas which always seem to be present around emission nebulae.

Greg.
