Took a quick one at the end of an imaging session. 200mm F/4 newt and 294MC Pro. Best 25% of 5k frames , stacked in AS3, sharpened in Registax and processed in Gimp.

@barkingsteve a lovely image there, I'd love to know how you pulled out the colour in GIMP? I've been playing around with luminosity masks and can't seem to get much from the data.  I've seen the Photoshop tutorials using the addition of hue/saturation layers but can't fathom how to achieve similar in GIMP. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jody,

    It was the first time i had used Gimp for processing, i usually use PS    but if i recall it was just playing with saturation, hue-chroma and hue-saturation under the colours tab. You can individually increase the hue and saturation of certain colours under the hue-saturation tab which can be useful. I also never used layers, just the main image. I really do not have a set procedure, i just play with the sliders until it looks good to me   hope this at least helps a little.

Thanks @barkingsteve.  I'll give it a go.  I did try playing with those but without much success, could be to do with the poor quality data that I started with.  Thanks for taking the time to pull together an answer.
