Is that a stacked image? Can you post an individual sub?

[paul mc c]

Yes it is stacked,this is single sub

[wimvb]

Stacking went wrong. You probably stacked on hot pixels. Since the stars show trailing, your stacking software didn't recognise them as such. Try adjusting the star detection parameters.

[Craney]

I agree with Wimvb.  Its not picking up on the stars as the key features with which to lock the position.

If using DSS switch on automatic detection of hot pixels

Went over my subs and took out some bad ones and re processed and came out with this,better but still trying.

[Stub Mandrel]

Had a  very quick play...

Shifted the colour balance a few points from magenta towards green.

Applies an 's' shaped tone curve to darken the background but keep the nebula detail.

The red and cyan in the neb is smashing, and you have the central star as well.

[paul mc c]

Nice one,i will give that a try,did you Use DDS ?

[Stub Mandrel]

That was photopaint because it's faster than more modern programs! You should find colour balance and tone curve in most packages. Don't overdo the colour balance or your red will disappear.
