M27 Dumbell

Hi Everyone,


I would like some help with this one too please!

Scope: 0.5M Classical Cassegrain 4.7M focal length.
Mount: ASA DDM85 Premium
Camera: FLI PL16803
LRGB

Taken at Savannah Skies.

larger file here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/z8ftx4 1.7 MB.

Acquisition with CCDAutoPilot5, Maxim, FocusMax

Processing: CCDStack, G2V star colour balance, Photoshop and PixInsight.

Unlike many renditions, I seem not to have a greenish Dumbell, but after doing a careful G2V star colour calibration, I thought I kept the RGB balance throughout the processing from the linear through the non-linear processing.....I see some greenish star fringes....I wonder what you would suggest for this issue...?? I have tried doing a minimum filter on the green channel, but this caused red blue fringes even with less than 1 pixel of minimum filter (fade). I was wondering about trying a small degree of morphological transformation on the green data stars in PI....

Suggestions welcome, thanks !!

Tim
