First real go at a RGB composite

Hi Guys, I got up last night with the intention of shooting some photos of something to test my new focuser and light box. After alignment I found out my target of choice would not clear a tree like I had hoped it would, so I just slewed to the horse head as I had problems with flats there before and thought it would be a good test.

I am still to learn to process LRGB images very well ( this will be my first with nice flats ). Overall I am happy with the outcome, The slight cast in the lower section is a little annoying, and the reflection I am not worried about because this is probally the only place im going to see it. I am quite fond of the reflection nebula in the upper left around the star.

This is 14 5 minute luminance frames

and 3 3 minute RGB binned 2X2

I should be getting a 7nm baader H-alpha filter on monday this week and an adaptor to get my off axis guider work so we will have to see how that all goes.
