Love it Hashan, bold and beautiful.

A bit 'hot' in parts, but that's fine.

Astro Art is cool :)

3.5 hours?! That's incredible. Great work :)

Thanks all !
I didnt make heavy colour saturation changes tbh. Just used these formulas in Pixinsight and made slight (+2-4 saturation adjustments in photoshop). Other than that, these are the original colours I got from my photos

Sii/Ha/Oiii :
R = (Oiii^~Oiii)*Sii + ~(Oiii^~Oiii)*Ha
G = ((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Ha + ~((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Oiii
B = Oiii
