Hi Brian,

Nice widefield image, but I think your color is a little bit Red.

I've also been working on M-13, and I think Im getting the Blue stars, but I haven't been able to bring out the Yellow stars in the cluster. Here is where my image stands (cropped about 50%) - BRC-250, STL-11000, L=15x5min, RGB=5X5mins each:

With your 2000XM (I have one also and am learning it).

The exact colour balance ratios are worth enquiring about on the Sbig group.

I think from memory the blue should be higher as these CCDs seem most sensitive to red. So perhaps if you shot another 2-5 shots of blue and then add as many as it takes to get the right balance and then write down what that ratio is for future shots. Green may need to be 8 x 3 and blue 10 x 3.

Greg.
