Hello,

I am going to post both versions of this as I have 6 hours of Lumiance data that was taken over two nights, one at a very dark site and the other at my light polluted suburban house. Both 15 min subs with darks but my flats did not work. I have then added the colour data each being 40 minutes worth with 5 minute subs with darks and flats applied.

Taken using a Williams Optics Flt 110 and QHY-9 mono on EQ6 Pro. Guided with PHD guiding and stacked with Deep Sky Stacker and processed in Photoshop CS4. The first image is as good as I can do but it have a horrible sky colour and I am sure other faults. I am a bit frustrated. To fix the sky coulour (improve the appearence) I black clipped the image and reduced the green.

Any advice would be very helpful as I wonder why I am bothering sometimes.
