Nice image although I see you have the dreaded magenta stars. If you use Pixinsight you can get rid of this by inverting the image and running SCNR then re-inverting. This should get rid of most of the magenta.

Thanks Rene.
Just learning how to process SHO, and so far it has been very tedious...

For a quick fix you can invert the pic get rid of the green halos, reinvert and apply as a color layer with a 80% blend to get your stars less purple.
But the way to do it is to shoot a lot more Sii and Oiii then balance the background ADU to match the green Ha. You'll then get nice NB star colors.
Yoh Marc! Thanks mate.
Will do as you say and gather more data.

Hi and taa Andy.
Yeh I can see a yacht better than a prawn
Peter,
Top of the shelf stuff
I kinda like the magenta stars, gives it a Sci Fi look
Great effort for 2nd attempt
Can’t help you with processing tips ( Startools fanatic )

Hey M, thanx dude.
Re magenta stars, I suppose it's what camp your in.
Personally I want to achieve RGB stars, one day...
Nice shot Indeed Pkay!
Was talking to Doug at Arkaroola a few days ago whilst travelling through the ranges- he made mention of you and sang your praises( I assume it was you he was you he was referring to)
Keep up the fine work.

Off topic, but....Arkaroola..... you didn’t happen to cross paths with John, Marie and their 2 daughters did you Anth? (Friend who’ve been up there for a week and a half)

Didn't know Doug was out there. Nice place to have a scope...
Say hi if you see him again.

Does Startools handle NB?
I guess it can...
Lovely image...stars are a little distracting though.
As for your query on Startools.....handles NB very well and I use it exclusively.
I’ve tried Pi numerous times and every time returned straight back to Startools for ease of use and quality of end product. Much more intuitive as well I believe.
Pkay,
I dare say it will be a fair while before I journey all the way out there although I wish I could have stayed longer- he was tinkering in the observatory on the only cloudy night I experienced during my time up there- always the way hey- a very knowledgeable man with plenty to say about astronomy and geology.
Cheers
PS
Jon,
I did not identify the family you mentioned although there were plenty of people around the bar that night eyes glued to the footy (Port supporters I guess).
Hope I find some up and go to get back into imaging soon.
