You're getting pretty close Kevin. Maybe the trick is to remember that the
Milky Way isn't purple. :-) I find it helps a lot to step away from the
image for a while, and not work on it too long. After taking a break, it can
look very different! Keep a bit of a grey border around the image and what
helps me sometimes is just a well lit white piece of paper. I hold it beside
the monitor and stare at it for a few moments and then flip my view back to
the image. This has helped me on some images to see colour balance problems,
but your mileage will definitely vary on this one! You have captured some
nice detail on this shot. :-)

Thanks for all the comments on the color of my image. Supra 400 always seems
to give me very pink images that need a lot of color correction. But not
everyone seems to have this same experience with Supra 400 (Alan). I wonder
why?

Anyway, I moved the image more toward the green (quite a bit), and away from
the blue (a bit less). I left the red channel alone. Here's the latest:

Better? Still need more correction?

Thanks again for the comments.
