Thanks guys...it still needs a tidy up as the combine was with Photoshop, rather than say, Pixinsight.

The reds/pinks worked really well.

Again thanks guys...I guess the 'scope is a keeper....It's also worth mentioning I used the AO-x for guiding...5Hz was as much as the guide star allowed, but I'm convinced it helps with pulling things in that little bit tighter.

I'd love to image this wonderful target.
The blues have a slightly strange hue.
I think the blues need a bit of adjustment
by boosting cyan for neutral & blue in Photoshop -
"selective colour. "

Meh..the blue looks OK to me...

Urban imaging...while a PITA...is nothing more than, taming the noise, taking some time for well calibrated flat fields, exposing a heck of a lot longer than you'd need at a dark site and having a good gradient removal tool.

PixInsight's background modeling is well worth getting a handle on.
