15x fields of 600 frames, 12 bit frames @ FL of 2200mm with 0.5A Filter

Use .AVI stack to align, stack and pre-process frames.

Assemble mosaic in PS 6.0

Mask and Layer disk and prom details.

Convert prom layer to pure red, saturation 50%. Same with disk layer, but orange red.

Flatten layers.... and garnish with PS 6.0
