Hi all,

I finally got a break in the clouds Thursday night grin
Conditions still far from ideal but the best I have had in a few weeks.

I ended up with a lot of gradient in the color subs and had to toss some out so I didn't have as much to work with as I hoped,had a hard time with the color balance.

Here's some specs for those interested,
L-600sx12
R-360sx5
G-360sx5
B-360sx4
CCD stack for calibration,alignment,stacking.
Photoshop for the LRGB combine,levels,curves and lots of noise reduction 8O

Thanks for looking,comments and tips always welcomed.

Hi Jason,

It looks good given what you had to work with (and fight - tell me about those $#@@ gradients!). I'd like to see your luminance-only image as well, it shows a lot of promise.
