RC 10 SBIG STT8300 test of system part 2

Hello folks ,
Having changed everything around this last few months have not really been getting a lot of decent sky time to photograph (such a quaint old term!) and also trouble shoot a system at f2000 with an RC 10 and a new focuser.
Last night was a case in point. Predicted clear around midnight (on a school night !!!:eye pop, instead was turbulent stormy rain and snow on the Mountain.
Anyhoo,
Here is a very predictable Trifid. I have the colours muted because those Baader filters seem to do that down here, and it seemed a natural way to process the beautiful sky orchid.
This is straight LRGB ratio 1:1 stacked in Maxim 50min each channel.
Processed between Lego movies!!!
Cheers
Graham.
(PS I would gratefully receive CC - I know it will be yards long!!)

Hi Graham,

Detail is decent and you picked up a lot of the nebulosity. I find the bright red a bit jarring...

Cheers,
Rick.
