Maybe the DSI needs more exposure time for colour?

Cheers

Or maybe for deep sky work it requires the filter being put back in :wink:

Bill, Dave.
Heres the image from last year, I'm hoping to give it a go again some time over the next few weeks once I'm setup with the observatory.

I see what you mean Dave. great shot, nice and sharp.
I've had a look around the web for pictures of the Ring and most seem to show a reddish ring with a yellow ring inside that and a green ring inside the yellow. Perhaps that where the yellowish colour comes from in mine?
I was hoping to get another crack at it tonight, but the clouds are moving in again already :cry:
