M20 in LRGB

Here is my lastest attempt at LRGB. Not really enough time spent on gathering data for this one but all I was able to get between clouds and having to work in the morning!!

Details are 6 subs of 120s each on L, R, G, and B.
Camera ATIK One 6.0 w Astronomik LRGB filter set
Scope is Stellarvue SVR102T with dedicated Field flattener and reducer giving f5.6
Mount Orion Atlas AZ/EQ G
Guiding Orion SSAG Pro through Orion ST80 using PHD and pulse guiding via EQMOD
Processed in DSS and PS CC 2015

I may have done some processing a little heavy handed, biggest issue I had was trying to get the channels in RGB all aligned in PS.

Anyway it is a start!!

Hi Malcom,a good start, more data will help. How was the polar alignment and guiding, stars look a little eggy.

Looks pretty good so far, more data will make it easier to stretch out more

You're getting there Malcolm. Can I suggest darkening the background a
little to make the nebula pop out?
