This image turned out FAR better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, it's no masterpiece, but I am happy at what I achieved here. PixInsight is an incredible tool for image processing.
The image consists of just 3 exposures - 1 each of red, green and blue. I did 20 minutes of exposure on each.
If you look closely, you can see a green line near the pinkish star heading right to the double stars below and to the right of it. This was on the green image and was a solid line through the whole frame (plane probably). I was thinking about trying the technique Rick mentioned in one of my recent posts to remove plane lines, but in the process of removing the green hue from the image, most of the line disappeared, so I didn't bother.

[Sometimes I feel as though there needs to be another forum between beginner and this one for images like this one... I'm no expert and still have a lot to learn, but I probably shouldn't claim to be a beginner either.
