I think your first go is good, there are some pink and blue pixels in the spirals but not enough to pull something visible from them.
The stars did benefit from a shrink but they have a nice mix of colours on the process I ran.
There was some chromatic aberration on the very bright stars that the filter 'fringe killer' can sort.
For colours I told the module I had used my camera it just quickly dealt with the green, as assumed 2 green pixels.

Hello HappyKat

Thanks for getting back to me, when you say my "first go" which one are you referring to exactly?? lol
Sorry but I have had so many goes now. Which was it RGGB one or the GBRG ??

Cheers :-)

So, this is using the RGGB mode in DSS. Tried to use the "max rgb" mode and lots of adjistments, then small adjustments back and forth etc. I also used the fringe killer to sort the chromatic aberration out, I think.

Im done with it now, I don't think I can do much better tbh, such as it is.

Got another query. If I use "dithering" should I still capture darks? Or not?

Thanks again Ivo and Happy-Kat
