Still too red. Understand that light pollution makes it virtually impossible to get right, but this galaxy is notoriously blue.
Absolutely definitely add another night or two of data. Worth the effort.
Very best,

Thanks Mike and Trish,
Thanks - I'm just getting used to this new scope.
I'm sure would have been a whole lot better if I had taken sub frames all night.
I've never taken such long sub frames except with Ha.
I need a brighter target but the nebulas are gone for now.
Yes - it is too red but that's what came out
after sky glow & my CLS-CCD filter.
I'm working full time so it's difficult to get the time
on a target like this to do it justice.
cheers
Allan
