Hi everyone,
thanks for your replies.
Yes I was quite pleased with the Running Chicken Nebula image too.
After doing some more imaging since then it has become apparent that the Baader UV/IR Cut Filter is important to have if you have a modified DSLR, without this filter your camera will record excess infra-red from the sky background and from bright stars making stars appear to bloat on resulting images.
I also tried the UV/IR Cut Filter held in front of the Canon 300D's 18-55mm camera lens and took some normal daylight images. The filter shifted the image colours back closer to normal (but not perfect). So the filter must also change the colour balance of deep sky objects too (back closer to the way our eyes perceive colours).
clear skies to everyone
