I imaged this a few nights ago while up in Port Macquarie for xmas.

Any opinions on the colours?
This is only my third LRGB image and I'm finding that the colour processing/balance/etc is almost as subjective as when dealing with narrowband data. That's not a problem though as I enjoy the processing almost as much as the imaging.

L = 8x5min
R = 4x5min
G = 4x5min
B = 4x5min

SW ED80 / SW EQ6 / Atik 314L+ / DSS / StarTools / PS / LR

Happy New year Hugh.

Nice detail mate but the colour is a bit muted with not much dynamic range.

Thanks Andrew, happy new year to you too :)

Good advice, I've had a play with it and I think it's looking better, cheers!

Nice capture Hugh, especially your improved version.

You're lucky to be able to take your eqiuipment away with you.

Thanks Ross.
More necessity than luck as I have nowhere to set up at home (apartment in Sydney) so all my gear has been bought with portability and speedy setup as a priority :D
