We've got friends staying so only had a bit of time to spend on this. This is a crop of the interesting bits, the big version isn't binned. I've done a minimum of processing, a little stretching, sharpening and so on. Colour may be a bit off but I blame it on Startools colour calibration :roll:

That's pretty good for a quick one Duncan 8). You've certainly got plenty of colour to play with and as you say that's probably Startools playing up ;)
There's a little drift in there, not sure whether that's a stacking artefact or guiding (dangly cables) causing it.
It's great to see you finally producing some images from that camera.
Best wishes

I look forward to seeing this when you have more time to process it, as you say the colour is a bit off. Maybe Pixinsight would be a better option for processing. So is this the binned version?
I've never tried Startools, it does seem to be causing you a few problems.

Very good Duncan
Excellent detail well done.
Tried Startools demo version, don't like it, be interested to see you use it.

Nice one, Duncan,

The green colour in the middle is really bizarre :(
If you can fix it, that'll be a good image.
