Colour introduces it's own set of challenges. Not only colour balance but dealing with gradients, even under reasonably dark skies.

Thanks Narayan. Yes I have imaged this object on three previous occasions. I've always struggled with the colour balance for this object. The first time it came out blue, second time red, and this time blue green!

Images on the net show a similar variation.
