Been going back and processing alot of AVI's from the last few weeks trying to refine my processing and capture techniques (with alot of help from Joel, Thanks!). I just processed the following and looks to be one of my best so far. One question though, how does the color look???? Too much red or just enough???? Thanks!!!!

In his tutorial thread Paul Haese provided a link for AstraImage 2.5MAX and using that program i splited RGB planes for your image and recombined then again resulting what i believe is a better balanced color, look here

RGB Split/Recombine

Great job James. Looks like you have all your ducks in a row and just need some good seeing now.

Thanks for all your help Joel!!!

The camera I used was a DBK shot through a 12 inch Meade SCT (no barlow was used).
