The Losbter (NGC 6357) in Scorpius.
I think i need some help with colour mapping my first narrow band attempt:shrug:.

Finding a colour selection that doesn't look comical is very difficult.
When i map in standard Hubble palette i get really odd blue green colours for the parts that aren't yellow and the image loses definition.

My new data was all taken with a semi bright moon from last week.

7xHA 30min
5xSII 30 min
4xOII 30 min
4 darks 30min

The first is hubble palette with lots of extra cyan adjustments
Second psychedelic one is just something odd that occurred when i was trying to fix gradients in Star tools.

Are you using PS?
If so try selective colour with this tutorial as a starting point...
