Why is NGC 2070 green in DSLR's when Triffid has correct colours?
I'm puzzled why M16 and M20 seem to have the expected colours (on an unmodified Canon 400D) but the Tarantula NGC 2070 is a real Jade colour (through a C9.25 and Hutech light pollution filter)
Can anyone please explain why and the best way to regain colour fidelity in image processing? Particularly I'm confused why the colour balancing I use in CS4 or Deep Sky Stacker (align the Histograms) doesn't come close to giving me the colours serious amateurs get on this DSO but for my other regular targets color fidelity is fine?
Many thanks,
Matt
Attached are two sample piccys 49 minutes of data C9.25 at F10 *5 shots combnined). The first is "captured colour" the second is reprocessed to strech and amplify the red.
