A quick Tuc 47 with the ZWOASI2600MC

Ive imaged a stack of globular clusters over last 3 to 4 years with my newts and Canon 600D which produced good results but this is the first time using my new OSC ZWOASI2600MC
On Sunday night the moon was 80% lit overhead so used the Duoband filter
6” f6 newt on an EQ6-R mount
ZWOASI2600MC with Baader coma corrector and ZWO 2” Duoband filter
40 x 60 sec dithered guided subs
15 x darks
15 x flats ( 20,000 ADU )
Camera cooled to -2C
PHD2 guiding was atrocious at 1.50 to 1.60 arc sec
Goto and tracking EQMOD ,StellariumScope and Stellarium
Frame , Focus and Capture APT
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V 1.5 Linear OSC

Comments Welcome

Since using the new 2600MC camera over the past 3 weeks I’ve noticed when I start to use the colour module towards the end of my workflow , the object and stars tended to have a greenish cast whereas when using the old Canon 600D DSLR the object at the commencement of the colour module was more neutral. Both cameras have an RGGB Bayer matrix
Any explanations ???
Thanks
