As to colour - depends on your intent.

You can do a M&T and be as scientifically informative as possible, whilst still producing a pleasing image.

... or you can go for aesthetics, using complimentary colours while still producing a scientifically valid image, which becomes an work of art.
Examples of these can be found in the works of Rick Stevenson, Suavi, Strongman Mike and well, yours truly.

Thanks Andy,

I've only been doing astrophotography since February (and narrow band for considerably less time) so I'm still finding my way. I was lurking quietly on this forum for a while before posting and have been using the images posted by yourself and all the others as inspiration for targets and processing techniques. So much to learn!

By the way, how much are you enjoying your RC8? When I am comfortable with my Esprit and looking for more focal length an RC8 would be something to consider. I've heard horror stories though about collimation difficulties...
