Thanks for the support guys. It was actually the trial version of maxim DL that I used to combine the pics. Maybe I did something wrong when capturing (saving the mono pictures as a 24 bit color image?) which made post processing more difficult to comprehend. Meade autostarsuite has a function to combine R G and B into a single color pic but I couldn't get it to work - I think it may have been because I stacked the images first in deepskystacker and then the meade software wouldn't recognise the file format that I had saved it as causing the loaded files to look corrupt. I will play around with it more today and see if I can improve on what I have.
Here are a couple of other mono pictures that I took last night as well. In the NGC 2438 image you can just see the central mag 17.5 star. The second pic is the popular 47Tucanae.
