From subs captured last year, had great fun carrying out various new (for me) processing techniques and using LRGB style processing with DSLR data. I think I had some success.

Large version Here.

Thanks for looking,
Cheers

Great image Jo. I just watched the aforementioned tutorial, but
everything happened at least five times too fast for me to have
any hope of following what was going on.

Thanks Russel, no I don't a specific link to what I'm doing but this one here gave me a lot of ideas http://www.astronomersdoitinthedark....b_tutorial.php

and this StarTools tut helped me figure out how to do it in StarTools http://www.startools.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=250

Pretty much what I do is process a B&W version to get the brightness, contrast, and details and then process the colour version (remove colour cast, do colour balance, fix up lens CA etc) and then I blend the two together and add saturation and tweaks.

cheers
Jo
