Well done! The nebulosity is excellent and the dark dust lanes have come out very well. The hour glass is not burned out. Nicely processed.
Colourblindness: I'm fiercely colourblind, one in a thousand. No red vision at all. I rely heavily on the RGB numbers under the cursor. Also extremely helpful is to momentarily swap the red and green channels. This helps to see the (natively) red channel. That's useful for seeing HII regions in galaxies, but it is especially useful for seeing the SII in narrowand images. Sometimes they can be very noisy, but until I momentarily reverse the R and G channels I just don't know how hideous they are. When all else fails, I ask Trish, who says "Lovely, but your galaxies are green, your stars are aqua, and there are brilliantly saturated artifact blobs everywhere".
fantastic nb rendition - also agree you've gone 15 hours on a high signal object, you could easily get away with cranking it a bit more.

Thanks everyone, I might give it another go after I reprocess some older stuff
