Looks good but as you said the colour is just not right.
Maybe you need some more blue Data, or play around with the Hue settings...

What equipment did you use to get such magnification??

My last attempt resulted in a galaxy a quarter that size....Wasnt even worth keeping the data saved on disk!!!

Hi John - thanks,
The scope is a 10" f 4.5 Meade starfinder, the camera is a QSI 683 wsg, and the mount a G11, so focal length slightly over 1100mm.
Not sure why the colour is so far out, but there seems to be something unusual about the blue channel.
cheers,
Andrew.
