Orange/Red Horse

After weeks of grey skies, the heavens finally cleared on Sat night around 11PM but it remained very windy throughout the night, and the seeing was awful My mount gave a valiant effort to keep my refractor well pointed but I lost nearly 1.5hrs of subs (of 4hrs). The Antlia dual NB filter did very well subduing halos, but something produced the reflection seen on the RHS of the image.

Tried processing in APP and PS for two days but was unhappy with the result. Thought I'd give PI another go and this time after much trial and error, I got a reasonable result even if it's a bit too orange. PI does my head in, but I'll keep learning it. Thanks for looking.

Darks, flats, dark flats. PI and PS.
