Peter and Greg, thanks for your frank opinions. It could be due to my process. I calibrate to the letter of Adam Block's guide for CCDStack, I combine 1:1:1 and do not edit colour channels individually beyond noise reduction in CCDStack. I used PS to set my RGB white and black points, and that's about it. I do use saturation, LAB, and HP filter, but never any colour mixing. If you see my raw RGB from CCDStack, the dark cloud already exhibits the reddish tinge [like attached image].
I don't like that, and don't like the thought to have to manually edit it out to blacky/ charcoal. These images have been taken in a dark sky site.
I can edit my images so the cloud and general sky background is nice a neutral, but that is not what has been captured. Frustrating. It may be me; I'd hate to blame my tools if they weren't to blame.
I may just buy the I Series and see what the case is. I'm sure I can sell one or the other afterwards.
Thank you for your detailed answers,
Steve
