Heh, Thanks Mike. I'm definitely seeing a need to tone down the saturation. I put it all down to the better quality scope I'm using this year, It's twice as fast (f/5 vs. f/7) and i have nearly twice the amount of integration.

I hope you don't mind I played around with the settings to "dissolve" some of the magenta
I've deleted the image after the screenshot

No worries, thank you for the visual. I definitely need to work out something to get better colours in my astro photos. I might need to move a processing PC up the ladder of priorities

Perhaps a little oversaturated but that is a minor matter. |
Thank you very much for looking, and yes, its a little candy-apple-red at the moment.

Very very low, I get it for just a few hours above my roof line. It's about as low in the north as i can image from my new place. (at the moment)
