This is doing my head in, but I'll post it anyway.

Glad I am not the only one that has RGB doing their head in! Your M57 came out good

That's looking good Chris.  A very smooth looking image with a lot of faint detail.  Maybe the colour is a bit faint, but thats just a minor quibble.

I think your being nice Mark, its one of those images where all the subs look ok, but the idiot user can't get it right, I'll have another go when I'm less fed up with it.

Chris I know exactly what you mean - colour really annoying me with the one I took down your place. Like Mark says the colours are very washed out - looks like saturation needs to be increased.
