M27 with ST-237A

Well I finally got around to using my ST-237A to take a color picture of something. I normally use it as my autoguider for my Canon 10D, but I finally decided to do a color image the old fashion way. I took 40 images of M27 unguided with the ST-237 on my Televue 85 riding piggyback on the C11/G11. All the processing was done in Images Plus since I couldn't figure out how to use CCDsoft. It is still a mystery to me how you can take 4 black and white pictures and turn it into a color picture. Good thing the software is smarter than I am. I took 10 images with each color filter and 10 luminance shots. I think they where 2 minutes each. This was my first try with taking a color CCD image.
