My first LRGB Image

I was curious to compare my QHY10 to a mono CCD. Peter (Poita) very generously lent me his SBIG 2000XM to have a play with. Naturally after it had arrived the weather here was terrible for about 4 weeks. I managed to squeeze in 4 hours in total over a 3 week period.
1 hour each of L:R:G:B data was the best I could get under the conditions. Read loads of tutorials on the processing side. I probably did it wrong, but I got an image

I calibrated and stacked each channel in Maxim, then processed each channel slightly in Pixinsight, giving more attention to the Luminous frame, then combined them Pixinsight, and a bit of sharpening in CS5.

I'm sure more can be done with it. I'll have another go at the data if there is anything I could do better or differently processing wise.

Any feedback would be great!
Erik
