Is this going too far?

Finally got around to stacking all the subs I had on Helix, and the tonne of calibration frames (40 each Dark, Flat, dark flat and bias). DSS stacked for a change, which wasn't the best alignment, but for some reason a LOT less noisy than the PixInsight version (still learning it anyway).

Pure 6nm H-a with the SBIG ST-8XE. Overtretched top layer blended. New top layer also denoised as much as I dare, then Luminosity blended. Probably sharpened just a touch too much with the masked stars.

Opinions appreciated.
