The Garnet Star and IC1396

[saac]

We had a good start to the new year last week in NE Fife with 4 good clear nights in succession; gave me an opportunity to image over multiple nights for the first time. I managed to capture close to 10 .5 hours (240s subs) with my RedCat and ZWO 183MCPro - no filters save UV and IR cut.  Processed in PixInsight then PS.  Criticism, hints and help most welcome.

Very good image, well done, though you should be able to tease more colour from the stars and nebula. 🙂

Good capture but I agree with Alan on the colour. Are you absolutely sure you have the right debayer pattern in play?

Alan, Olly, tx - I agree the colour is a bit muted. I do tend to go for a light touch on colour but yes I agree that there is a bit more it can give here. I'll check the debayer pattern has been picked up correctly as well.  The colour in the stars could certainly be brought out.  Thanks guys, first time with data over multiple nights (only used Flats/Darks from the last night) so I was a bit anxious to see how it came out.
