PCC or other CC for NGC 6781

I've tried all the usual tricks to get PCC to complete on my image to no avail. It appears to plates solve just fine so maybe this is one of the small areas not covered by the photometric databases?

Anyway, I would be grateful if someone would give PCC and/or other CC methods a try. I went the 'normal' CC route but my stars end up very pastel which I find odd.

The link includes RBG preprocessed channels and my result with 'normal' CC.

Thanks in advance!

It seemed to work for me! here you go! great starting point for an excellent image!

my steps

took your RGB
integrated into a lum (thought it might help PCC detect stars to have a synth lum?)
ran PCC grabbing the capture details from one of your channels and applying it to my synth lum
image solved
saved :)

LRGB combined and PCCed - synth lum created by RGB integration.xisf

Fantastic! I'll keep those steps in mind if I have trouble with PCC again. The resulting image is definitely more 'natural' in color.
