First Light with my ASI174MM - Mercury Transit

The clouds finally cleared at my club's dark sky site around 9 Here's a quick Stack and edit of 200 frames of H-Alpha through the Coronado 90 and ASI174MM camera. This is my first time using this camera, and imaging through this telescope. I have a lot more to process and I hope to have better images soon.

Nice. I'm impressed! How did you get the color in? I reprocessed one and used Split toning in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) to add some color to mine.

This one was stacked in AstroStakkert 2.6 and processed in Pixinsight.

I notice some banding in my image, and am wondering if it's from the camera, over processing, or converting to JPG. Or something else. I see them as Vertical bands, and I think I need to rotate the image. But over all I'm happy with it.
