Hi all,

I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. Things are going well. There's always challenges but I'm getting on top of them.

The problem I have is my reds. I'm barely getting any. I recently did 1 1/2 hrs on lagoon. As much as it came out as a beautiful image it's missing the big red cloud.

Determined to capture Eagle, I did 2 sessions totalling nearly 3hrs. I've got the core, I've got the pillars, but very little red nebulosity. It's there but it's just not that bright like every other colour.

Am I doing something wrong ? Is it a white balance thing ? Is it a setting in DSS that I'm missing ? ( my Bayer matrix is set on canon 5d ) or is it as I was first suspecting, light pollution washes out that end of the spectrum. If so, is there anything I can do to compensate ?

I will note that in the photoshop histogram the red section is clear, has the same rough amplitude and is aligned with the other channels.

Any suggestions are welcome before I start the trial and error method

Thank you all in advance.
