help wanted about RGB processing

I shot the Ha of the Keyhole and also some RGB at 1x1 binning. CCDSoft defaults to 2x2 binning for a colour series. Is this common practice? I figured the 1x1 would give better resolution but then again it requires more exposure time.

Can someone give me suggestions about how to best process the RGB and Ha together? Is it the Ha goes in the luminance channel of CCDSoft and the other colours in their respective slots and trial and error to get good colour balance? The colour balance often seems whacky so I must be doing something wrong.

Cheers,

Greg.
