Without accounting for the precise absorption characteristics of the intervening dust, that approach makes sense Mike and is of course a
perfectly reasonable approach! I saw and appreciated the colour differences in your
excellent image. I was only wondering how you were trying to render an invisible something.
Believe it or not, my approach is also quite agnostic. I seek to enhance
what is "visible" as exposed via the raw RGB stacking done in CCDStack which is, arguably, an agnostic process. I often refer back to the raw RGB to make sure my PS processing to enhance colour isn't corrupting the actual colour content. The only thing I'd seek to rectify in my rendition of 4945 is the glaring fact that the halo should be an orange-brown colour. Don't know why I made it grey. My excuse is I was still relatively inexperienced.

No no - don't sack them, just give them a good talking to.
