 HI

I tried a shorter exposure time in favour of more subs for this one. I also worked on my processing using a masked stretch on the RGB data for better colour preservation.Then I used the stars from a masked lum stretch to place on a normal histogram stretch.Then transferred over to CS6 for more adjustments including slight noise reduction,then back to PI to combine the L with the RGB .All comments welcome

LRGB =180secs each channel using the Atik 314L+
