Cheers for the feedback Greg, much appreciated. I have tried importing the plugin to CS6 on OSX, but can't seem to get it to load. Will try this out again tonight. I have read that it is based on a PixInsight routine, I'll have a fiddle with the SCNR Average Neutral algorithm that Andrea Rogelio mentions on his website, wherever it is buried within PixInsight.

I don't use a dark site, just my backyard here in Canberra, will this still pick up the skyglow? The green subs did have very large signal, but I figured this was a property of the target.
I can't really see the green tinge, but this doesn't surprise me, its either my untrained eye or my colour blindness. Colour balance is definitely one part of processing that I really struggle with.
