Yes you can. In fact you can have it any colour you want, depending on which filter you use. Unfiltered it's going to be pretty much all blue. With a gentle LP filter you will start seeing some shades of red. With stronger filters like the CLS and Astronomik UHC you will see more and more red tones as the contrast with Ha increases. If you were to use a modified camera and a filter you would see mostly all reds. It's a weird and wonderful nebula this one!

I'm trying to get a mixture of blues and reds in the shot I'm doing, but it's a tricky one to balance.
