Thanks Cam,
It is very diffcult to process this target given my data.
Here is a link to 91 frames with RGB background calibration
switched on in Deep Sky Stacker - a new stack:

The extra frames taken in early December make it easier to process
even though they were slighly out of focus.
The camera was at various different angles so I had to use masks
to try & get rid of the sub frame lines.
The red is now no longer clipped in the stack.
I also used advanced techniques to selectively brighten & sharpen areas .

The Ken Crawfords tutorials have been a help to me:

I can see why it can take weeks to process some photos!

I'll have to buy a better camera soon & I wouldn't mind if someone
posted some real LRGB data from a mono camera for me to try.
I want to make sure I can process the data before buying a mono camera.

cheers
Alpal
