Tarantula Nebula in SHO

This was probably one of the hardest targets to process in my opinion. Partly because I was impatient and only had limited subs to work with and partly because I still have no idea how to process narrowband images properly. I find myself having to look at the tutorials every time I process a new images. When does processing become natural ?.

Anyways, here's my rendition of tarantula in SHO hubble palette (I think).
32x 180s Ha
28x 180s Oiii
33x 180s Sii
@ gain 300, I should have lowered it to 200 as someone mentioned that there's no point in going over it. But, I forgot

Astrobin link here

EDIT: I've done the processing from scratch and in my opinion miles better than the first rendition. Much cleaner. next time I need to take shorter exposure to blend with the image to get a better dynamically ranged imgae!
