I used Fuji Super G Plus 800 with normal 1 hour photo processing. I simply
digitally stacked the negatives based on Jerry Lodriguss' webpage
(http://www.astropix.com/) in Photoshop. Very little digital processing
was done other than the stack since the original images where fairly well
saturated. I think the reason it look so blue is due to the Fuji's
response to the blue. I may reprocess it to try and balance the color a
bit better.

Thanks for the comments!
