Thanks Steve, the dreaded RED, lol. I always seem to have trouble with that. Damn modded camera ahahahah. I'll have another look in a few days.

Thanks very much Paul. I'll definitely have another look at the colour balance of this one.

Thanks Russ, I actually really enjoyed doing this one.

As I often comment on NGC 6188 images, I have struggled for the last ten years to make a decent image of it. Perhaps next year?

Well done on a beautiful and aesthetically-pleasing image. You should print, frame and hang this one up.

Thanks for the huge compliment H. I may actually frame it yet once I am finished with it. Should only take another four or five tweaks lol.

Thanks Richard, I appreciate it.

I had a bit of a breakthrough with deconvolution yesterday.

In PI you are supposedly meant to set a linear RGB space. Basically this means using the RGBworkingspace tool with R, G, B and gamma all set to 1. Then make a starmask with the appropriate tool and a custom PSF with dynamic PSF (there's a tutorial out there on this). Use these in the deconv tool. Main thing I play with is the "global dark" deringing setting. I've had a lot of success with this process so far, since discovering the RGB working space thing.

Thanks Marty, for the comment and the tip about decon. I have been doing all the things you mentioned except the RGB workspace set to 1. I usually only do that to export the luminance channel and then reset it back to the native settings. I will definitely give that a try. Thanks again.
