Thanks, Ray! I used the brightness of the Ha and Oiii to modulate the hue. Just a cheap trick really but I like the effect on some bi-colour images.

Just a little question... if you call 30minute subs short, what is a long sub!?

Thanks, Scotty. It was the 600 sec subs that didn't add a lot of SNR. For a while we had guiding problems (turns out that encoders aren't always as wonderful as you would hope.)

Ta, Paul! It gets to 24 degrees above the horizon here in Brisneyland which is not conducive to good imaging. Even worse for you. Ozstronomer and a few others have managed decent captures from SE Qld. It's reasonably bright in Ha but the Oiii shell is quite dim.
