They are really great for un-processed and in colour!

Heres an image I took with the B/W Mintron (ie Gstar) of the same subject through an 80mm f6 guide scope - the exposure is 2.5 seconds and it was a stack of about 200 frames run through deep sky stacker to bring out the detail - dark frames subtracted too. I've included an RGB version - but the whole process took so long to get an ordinary result, that I think I will stick to b/w!!!!

I've dug out the original AVI and included a single raw frame for comparison - it was a pretty grey night (the moon was in 3rd quarter), but came out ok after a bit of processing.
