Thor's Helmet (take 2)

Earlier this month, I posted just over 3 hours of data on Thor's Helmet (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=153216).

Have added some more data now from 2 more sessions. 9 hours in total - 27 x 20 mins with a QHY8 OSC camera and an RC8 scope on an EQ6.

Last time I got some good advice from Marcus to watch out for stellar halos in the centre. I think I overdid my decon/sharpening. Hopefully better controlled this time (crops show centre of old and new images)

However, I found it hard to get a consistent colour balance and a satisfactory background with the new image. Any comments/tips appreciated.
