When using the Smart Histogram, do you set on using the Green channel?

Hello and welcome Can you please tell what your equipment is and the workflow you use for capturing? I have sometimes the same problem as you have but it's mostly because of my telescope and camera combination. I have a Meade LX200 8" f/10 telescope and 2 Zwo camera's. With the Zwo ASI071MC Pro...

Thank you so much Robin!
I can imagine your "At last!" completely. A lot of work has gone into it.
