* Switch to the luminance tab and then adjust each of the settings there until the current diagonal line becomes a curve to mostly cover the solid curve.
* Switch to saturation tab and adjust if necessary.

You can get a result from this to export if you want.

A better idea is to take the stacked result you've got and process it further in another tool, like PS.
Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Here is the image after adjusting the RGB, saturation and luminance in DSS. When I tried in Startools and Nebulosity, I couldn't really improve the images contrast or colour balance (second screenshot)
I'm suspecting that maybe I just need to take longer exposures than 30 seconds at ISO 1600.


Cheers
Luke
