More M42 in Ha & HaRGB I'm afraid

More experiment and learning session on how to use the QSI583. Almost a full moon, so only attempted the bright M42 with Ha, and processing HaRGB.

Attached are 2 images: Ha, and HaRGB, taken with the LX90 8" ACF, with CCDT67 focal reducer. The images shown is the actual full frame, I didnt crop, just resize in order to upload here. Guided with Orion SSAG.

Ha: 5x4mins subs, darks & bias, calibrated with MaxinLE, bin 1x1

For the RGB
R 3x120sec, G 3x90sec, B 3x60sec, bin 2x2

For some reasons my blue is very strong in the combined RGB image, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Had to manually adjust the R levels and reduce B levels to bring the pink colour.

Victor.
