For processing, this is a very blue image. I don't think the NGC 2997 group is coming towards us, so if anything it should be redshifted   |
Adam, thank you for the tips. Yes, I did use the 3 point polar alignment in NINA. Fairly straightforward, but as soon as I was within half an arc minute, every 3 second exposure would result in a larger and larger error, until I was an entire degree off. Really weird. I wasn't touching anything.
As for colours, yes, I messed around with the colours a lot, bumping up the blues and reducing green. I didn't touch the reds, but my colour calibration is definitely off. I haven't quite mastered that yet, but am watching videos and reading articles. I think I was just so happy to see "something bright" that I didn't really care at the time, but that will definitely be my next goal for improvement.

Thanks Martin, I'll watch this video. RA sounds like a mosquito like yours. Dec has a slight grinding noise. Not that bad that I am panicking, but enough for me to mention. I might try your procedure if I muster up the courage. I am getting nervous just thinking of the damage I might do...
