Here is M13 with RGB and ratios of 1/1.3/2.0. Processed in AA from there. 8"Edge/Atik One 9.0@f10. 55 sec R,90 sec G, 120 sec B. Trying to learn how to get good color. It is very difficult for me to manipulate color. This image is after a lot of filters and tweeks. These are 20 subs/15 darks. Anyone who can help me get good color? thx

Re: AA6 Workflow?
The white balance coefficients in Trichromy (you used 1.0 / 1.3 / 2.0) are not so important: after the creation of the color image is mandatory anyway to use the Color Curves Window for a good result. To guide yourself Google - Images: " m13 cluster " and compare with other images.
You may also increase the Saturation and darken the black background. A further bit white saturation of the nucleus is possible.
The image seems to me pretty good yet, for a 5 minutes exposure.

Re: AA6 Workflow?
Excellent result!
For publication/printing it's perfect as it is.
For a more "scientific" appearance, you may leave some sky background (with its noise) instead of cutting it to a constant value.
