My first picture with my new QHY11 and also my first LRGB

Colour balancing has been quite a challenge!

Scope: RCX400 14" @F8

I hope you like it,

Hi Enrique, that is an outstanding image, and being your first they will even get better, not that I can fault this one. All the best.

Hey Enrique a real nice image.
Love those galaxy images.
Colour balance looks good to me.

Hi Enrique all that new equipment seems to be working together nicely, you put some long hours in this which shows with plenty of colour and detail in the spiral arms.
Clear skies Ken

Hi Enrique,

Great data in your image. The galaxy is too magenta and the inner spiral looks a reddy brown when it is more a yellowish colour.

You've got the data there. I recommend using the selective colour tool in Photoshop to reduce magenta and get a better colour balance in the inner core area.

Greg.
