Hi everyone

Waiting for the galaxies to get high enough, I had a go at this pair. Trying for the elusive blue, I think I overdid the saturation and now the orange is wrong:( Very steady seeing helped with the stars. It's not usually this easy!

Thanks for looking and clear skies.

Forget the CLS-CCD filter for the star clusters, because the stars look like pink not orange color. For this any kind of cluster just an IR/UV cut or the IDAS work very well.

Yeah. You're right and thanks for the tip. The CLS blocks that big band of wavelengths where the orange is found. I rescued the orange a little by lowering green and increasing red, but it's not ideal as now I've lost most of the blue:
