The last looks best, but still a bit red in the background sky.

last one for me, others were either too red or green.
Not sure what software you are using? PixInsight has some functions to balance color and get rid of certain colors r, g or b.

Hi David ,
I looked at the raws in canon photo studio professional and played with the white balance settings for the third pic , used 6000 degrees kelvin setting for all 25 raw frames ,then stacked them in DSS using camera white balance and 0 black point. Sharpened in PS however Not sure how to reduce the red sky cast in PS.
Regards philip

Have you tried "Auto White Balance" and *uncheck* "Set Black Point to Zero" in DSS? I was having terrible colour cast issues in DSS until I got those settings right for my 60 Da.

Oh, and I'm joining the consensus: third one :-)
