I reshot the color frames after calibrating on a G2V star and still got goofy colors. I noticed that I was having big problems with the blue flat frames so I contacted Don Goldman for advice and he was incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, we decided the blue filter has problems so off it went in the mail hopefully to return like new wink

Fortunately, the moon is up so I can return to H-alpha for now.

The core is suppose to be yellow and the arms blue but they aren't so what you get to see is what the optics can resolve.

Fantastic Cal!! The detail is awesome.

Great job, Cal. You put a lot of care into that and it shows. I've been meaning to do the G2 star calibration myself.
