Had a big imaging session last night despite the moon.
All images with the 6 inch f3.6 SN

First is NGC 2467. A deep 1x10 mins

2nd is RCW33 in Vela. 4x10mins. I could se nothing on the subs so wasnt even sure I was on it till I processed them

3rd is good ol Eta carina. 3x10 mins

All at ISO 400, with MPCC coma corrector and LPS filter.

Sky was bright with moonlight.

It appears you have worked out a way of preserving colour in your stars, really makes your images shine :thumbsup:.

Thanks all.
Yep, Mike, in fact the first process of RCW 33 pushing it to reveal the faint nebula revealed all white stars, so I had another go at it in Photoshop till I ended up with this version. I also dont use noise reduction software to much as any more than a slight noise reduction also seems to drain stars of their colour.

I reprocessed the Eta carina pic, more colour and contrast.
