I am stacking my M16 data from last month - since the object has been setting, I would image it from about 9-11pm, earlier in the later half of the month. I would typically stop once it reached 25 degrees or so, but even so my stacks have red/blue stars due to being relatively near the horizon.
I use Star Tools for processing, but have access to Lightroom and Photoshop CS2 as well.
So far my solutions have revolved around stripping down bad data. Most of my Lights are good, just diffracted. But even removing the latter half of all my data for each night, so I could stack only the earliest / highest-in-the-sky images still shows stars with dual color.
Does Star Tools have any fixes for this? Perhaps some type of tool which radially blurs/averages out color for a star to counter this effect?
