Calibrated and Stacked with CCDStack2; RGB combine and DDP with MaximDL. Processed with CS4.
This was interesting to process. The individual channels looked great, but after color combine the image had very little color. Although I could increase saturation, I could not get a pleasing color balance.
Eventually I redid the color combine and changed the channel weight to increase the blue channel weight to 1.3, and re-combined with the already processed luminance to get this image.
