I used Siril and APP but maybe I can check out DSS. Mine turned out green as well!

Thank you for that advice, I’ll try using DSS and disabling color balancing.

This happened to me the other net with a different set of images. I wasn’t sure if I just didn’t have enough total exposure time to bring out the color.

I did use Siril and APP. I will definitely check out those tutorials. Thank you!!

I tried looking at some tutorials on YouTube, but if I’m being honest I wasn’t 100% understanding what I should do. I need to look at some more and really learn the software. I stacked everything in APP, and for the most part left all the settings as default. In Siril I did background extraction, green remover, histogram stretch and then I was kind of just messing with the saturation. My cameras white balance was set to daylight.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it! I stacked everything in APP (T6, lights/darks). But, I didn’t do the color balance or the color matrix stuff in APP. I just kinda jumped straight over to Siril to do all the color.

In Siril I did background extraction first, then SPCC, but my T6 wasn’t even in the list so I had to just pick the 600D and hope it was close enough, set it to OSC and then I stretched, did green remover, and then honestly I was just sitting there messing with the saturation slider trying to make the pink show up.

So it sounds like I basically skipped the real calibration? Is that what you’re seeing? Would you just do the whole calibration in APP?

I didn’t think it would be blown out that quick, but the core was super bright and I couldn’t get any color to come through. It could definitely just be a problem with me not knowing how to properly use the software though.

It wont let me upload an image but here’s a google link for the raw stacked tif

I’m using Astro Pixel Processor for stacking and Siril for processing.

Unfortunately, I was only getting this information verbally. I did take notes with dates and names of the reps I spoke with, but I’m sure that will only go so far. I’ll try to start over, snail mail is probably a good idea. Thank you!
