Hi,

I tried masking but couldn't get that to work, perhaps it is over-exposed, I will try reprocessing when I get chance.

Thanks almacl, I will look at that. The single colour balance was ok with ST but I wanted to bring more warmth to M31 without getting bright red rings around the stars. I managed to get what I wanted with a bit of post processing using Affinity, see image, but was trying to find a way of doing this ...

I feel I should be able to do this using star masks but I seem to get inconsistent results, can anyone help? I am starting with my standard process which is : Enter Colou...

Hi, I have been using ST for a couple of years now and never had this issue before, spent a few hours trying different things but cant fix it, can anyone help.

The image with the blue was me practicing with layers. I added OIII which I had set to Blue in Colours to the fg and dabbled with settings until I got thi...

Pease Ignore the above, I have made some progress helped very much by the Layer Module thread that Guy put together but also the M45 thread.
I haven't managed to get where I want to be yet but I think I have made quite a bit of progress with IC410.

Sorry, just realised this is a duplicate - I'm using WIndows 10
