With practice you can get a better colour balance. A lot of nebulae look very different in a standard DSLR. A lot of them will look blue/teal instead of red.

Your image is quite good - just need more practice with processing. here's a lot of people here who will be happy to help!

Tony.
Thanks Tony, I'll definitely get fitsqork4 and have a go. I'm not after a full tutorial, just wondering if you could point me in right direction for main processes you used in Photoshop.

Thanks
Mick
