Re: Saturn 5th Dec - my PB!

I once tried a true-to-life colour balancing of M42 using a nearby
reference star to set the relative intensities in RGB and IR. Of course
this required the full complement of darks and flats for accuracy (so
it was a lot of work). The end result looked almost B&W! Was it
accurate? Yes. Was it a pleasing result? No! In the end I had to crank
up saturation by a good 200% before I was "happy" with the final
image...

I'd guess colour balancing the planets to be an even more subjective
exercise. So how's it done? And would we "like" the results anyway?
