Nice.

I just checked my DSS settings - I'm almost completely opposite on the boxes I check: Only Auto White Balance is ticked, the rest clear. I am using a 6D though, not sure how much that affects things.

I think I'll have to do some experiments and see what the difference is.

Did you have any trouble with the colour balance due to the filter Phil?
Nice image.

Nice image.

Hi Jen,
I think there's a slight pink/ red cast on the pictures , when you look at bright light inthe observatory with camera connected the viewing screen is pink. Not sure how you adjust the colour cast. I prefer the pics I've taken in the last 3 nights to those without the filter.

I have to now go and check my dss filters as everyone seems to get much better results then I do!

Nice image, Philip.

You might want to reprocess with "Auto white balance" checked. That could deal with the colour cast. The UHC filter does give a pretty strong magenta to the stars.

Look nice
Philip,

This is a great image.

The red cast in the image is possibly supposed to be there, considering the area is Ha rich.
