Dave,
Look back to the screen shot I posted of acquiring M-13,

Hit the Color button and then hit the WB button in the Color control window when you first start.
The key to getting the right color balance is to save your images as a fits file with the save every combined image option checked.
Use the Auto star Envision image processing software for the initial processing.
processing in this manner, You will get and image that is broken down into LRGB fits files.
What you need to learn is how to work with grouped fits files for each color.
I start by opening the Blue Fits as one group, then I examine each sub and prescale the image by adjusting the histogram sliders.
I then throw out any subs that i do not like using the group edit command, it opens a new window that lets you remove the bad subs on a line by line basis in note pad. When your done deleting the bad subs, close the Note pad window and say yes to saving them.
Now I remove any hot or cold pixels, then I Do a two star stack and align, followed by a linear stretch and a log adjustment, brightness and contrast.
I then save that blue as a master blue fits file. I do this for every different sub color and I make master fits files for each color.
What I end up with is a master L a master Blue, a master red, and a master green all in the fits format.
Next I open a New group And I choose all of those master fits files and I perform a two star stack and align.
Next I hit the color merge button I and Choose each individual master aligned fit file for each color, You will see Meade saves that as a Master aligned fit for each color.
Once you have a good color image on your screen you should adjust the gamma first, try a setting 0f 70 % then you can adjust the color balance by assigning different color weights.
It takes a Little experimenting and practice but in this fashion you retain all of the DATA. You can always save the Final image in what ever format your final processing software requires.
Did I loose you?
