Due to the displacement of the G & B channels over the time period of your capture the Preceding edge of the rings has a red fringe while the Following limb has a blue fringe. When you merge your channels in AI you should deal with this by shifting the G channel (probably 1 pixel toward the F side) and shift the B channel (probably 2 pixels toward the F side), The object being to do away with the colour fringe. It also helps to zoom your image up to 300% while in the merge channels screen, this makes it easier, when aligning the channels, to get the alignment spot on in both X & Y axis.

Cheers for the feedback Trevor, much appreciated, I'll try sort out this alignment thing

I didn't know there was a zoom function in AI when doing the LRGB combine, unless I'm using the wrong version? The combine feature seems very limited from a control perspective in the version that I am using.
