Someone earlier in this thread mentioned about false colour. Interestingly when the ST4 and ST6s were first released some years ago I remember looking at some demo shots, some taken in false colour. But for some reason this doesnt seem to have been very popular in amateur circles - although it does bring out detail very nicely sometimes.

Does anyone know of any software capable of this?

By the way, there are some great images on this post. I'd be quite proud of the green tarantula. Guess thats what your eye would see via the eyepiece (if it were brighter). Obviously in addition to Ha there is a fair amount of emission in the green part of the spectrum too which is quite interesting to me (In fact I was discussing this only a few nights ago with a friend).

Thanks Scott for the IRIS hint. Also increasing the red channel does work well to enhance the Ha Peter when your sensor is not very red sensitive.
