Thanks Glenn. Yes total exposure was 5.5hours. The RGB was mainly for the stars but I lost most of the star colour when I added the hydrogen and oxygen. I should have masked the stars first. The advantage I had was the camera I used which is sensitive and cooled. Even with your 50D modified I think you'll need a lot of subs to pull out detail. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product!
