Excellent...... will give this a go, sad thing is earlier in the processing I had similar to those colours Marcus provided, but I was convinced they weren’t right...

This and the full frame version are the first sensors to have no amp glow, do 16 bit. They also have outstanding QE at 90%+ and still very high QE in narrowband at 75% or so. They do however give a slight horizontal banding you have to be aware of and expose accordingly.

Those are the 2 very cameras im looking at, I’m leaning towards the ZWO at the moment. Fortunately there’s a few reviews coming out on YouTube now, so I will watch with interest.

Back to the computer to have try another repro at this object with ideas submitted. Thanks for your input
