As you can see it requires far more integration time than the ten hours spent on the object.
Of course it throws a spanner into the works with my reply to Bob when I suggested the yellow regions were due to less UV radiation when clearly the L image shows otherwise. 
It supports my theory that combining monochrome images to form colour is more voodoo than science. 
I'll try merging the UV data with existing B data to see if I can come up with something more realistic.
Thanks Larry.

Thank you Steven, that is one interesting looking frame, very cool.
It actually seems to confirm my result from a while back where I tried to create a synthetic UV image for the Carina nebula, by subtracting L and NIR from a Clear frame. The results were pathetic to say the least and I just discarded it as unworkable. But based on your results I think it might have worked, the S/N was just so low that I thought it wasn't right.
I might give it a try again, given that I don't have a UV filter.
