Yes
I’m reasonably confident with settings and using my tracker but I can’t seem to edit it to get the colours, this is 40 images stacked 1m exposure iso 1000
i used a brush with tints etc on the area of this.
any suggestions please

This is an excellent image..
You need to really push the saturation up considerably in the area around the horses head.
Depending on what software you have it's best to mask off the areas that you don't want to adjust so as to avoid blowing out the stars.

You specify your images can't be edited so cant show you an example.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve changed my setting.
I have also tried doing what you suggested and used a brush in Lightroom, does definitely improve it.
thanks
