Second DSI RGB attempt

I had another go at RGB imaging with the DSI last night in between the clouds as I was keen to see how the Meade filters compared to the Baader ones. This time Eta Carina was visible from my vantage point for about an hour.

As usual I was in a rush so didn't spend time refining the polar alignment and I've therefore kept to short exposures (50x5.6sec for each colour) and had to stretch the image a lot to bring out any detail.

I also managed to rotate the camera while changing filters so there's a bit of rotation between the RGB images that I haven't worked out how to fix. If this can be done without photoshop I'd love to know how.

In any case here it is... comments welcomed.
