Hi Ray -

Also keeping track of what and where the LRGB files are is going to be 

something of a file management learning curve. <<


I color code the file icons (hold down the control key while selecting the movie file 

in the finder) red, green and blue (orange for IR) which makes it very easy to tell 

what's what later on. I usually shoot them in order (IR, R, G, B) which can help 

some with refocusing after filter changes. Color coding the icons can help organize 

the large amount of data from a long night - I use it to separate the different lunar 

mosaic projects too.
