Thanks Marc, yeah I do realise Al's effects... but didn't think it would be as bad as this..
Here's a 50% reduction of my blue composite to give you an example... the other channels were as bad.
A real night mare to process. I used a compilation of 1' lum subs I took by mistake and used this as a background layer to the individual r, g, b channels... but had to adjust top and bottom of each image to respective shades to ensure that I would have close matching colour to my stars, not just white blobs... and to try and represent a close colour match to the reef and surrounding areas within the affected area.
So yes it was a real challenge.
I'd certainly be happy to hear from any one with a more effectiver way to cleanly remove this artifact..
I was really happy with the data apart from this though.. and just happy to be out of course.
Thanks for the nice comments.
All the best
