It's coming along and I have to keep adding year after year due to the obstructions that I deal with. I'm taking it one step at a time and I'm now taking the 60s subs . Last years data is what I started with and over 1/3 were out of focus , the old crayford that came on my tube kept slipping. I've got that problem solved and I'm getting better with the AF every night I'm out.
Getting better. You need to work on the color balance. I’m not sure how you do it in PI, in PS, I do it within the levels and adjust each color channel.
For some reason, I always find M81 to be a difficult target.
I use Pscs2 with levels, curves ,color balance {highlights , midtone and shadows} Astronomy tools plug-in to do a lot of clean up Brian , I've got about 500 more subs mostly L . I've still have to stack , align , and process . I use AIP4win to stack and process what I can . It's all practice to me and one day it'll click and everything will have a good flow . I appreciate the tips you gave me , it makes my images better. I've started working on this data pile 6 days ago and I've deleted so many tries and hopefully I'll be able to get it with the hint of blueish color and my background will be correct . The good thing is my guiding is up to 60s and I'm feeling confident about raising it to 90s but, this processing is another kind of monster that I have to tame.
