Thanks Kev. I used Pixinsight 99% and this was my 3rd attempt at processing the data. The other two attempts looked too yellow so I went crazy with hues, curves and saturation to tease out the OIII and retain the lighting/colours around the bigger stars in the nursery. I reckon I spent ~7hrs (probably more) in PI - a lot of trial and error. I finished the image in Photoshop but only for some minor tweaks using tools that aren’t available in PI. I’m a complete newbie to PI but now know just enough to produce a basic image
Rob, I would suggest searching Google but I believe Ekos supports your (Canon?) DSLR. Ekos is part of a complete imaging software solution (I use Stellarmate - Linux-based - on a Raspsberry Pi 4 at the scope) and uses INDI drivers. INDI has drivers for just about everything. There’s a learning curve with setup and use but that’s same for NINA etc. However, once you’re through that, Ekos/Stellarmate is excellent IMHO but is likely just as frustrating as any other complete imaging solution - happy to chat by PM if you want more info. I’m about to start using an ASIAIR+ on my SCT and looking fwd to learning the differences between the two solutions.

This seemed to work well but the last time I used it , it didn't remove one of my donuts. Would Ekos work ok with my DSLR, Rob
