Adjusting colour backgrounds

Hi Tanja
Just had a look at your image on photostream. I notice you are using the new 60DA. Did you set an in camera custom white balance before shooting to match the temperature of the stars?

I use bad pixel map instead of dark frames and use Noel Carboni's Astronomy tools plug ins to combat lack of Flat frames.
To be honest the shutter on these dlsr camera does not have a long life and i really cant afford to waste images. Foe example i know people who have not managed for than 20,000 clicks woth the Canon 1000.

Process all of your images in the order recommended in Nebulosity, the last stage of the process before stacking coverts all to colour

Any assistance needed just let me know

Regards
Carl
