Well done! You've gone quite deep there in the outer, fainter, regions. Only because you mentioned it's not often done and it's one of my absolute favourites, here is Trish's and my attempt from a couple years ago.

Yours covers a much larger area and shows faint extensions to the right that are out of field on our shot. You've also managed to bring out much more faint OIII than we did

I also see no scary skull and crossbones. Rather I see Snoopy the famous cartoon dog (the head, toward top left, is unmistakeable), riding on a salt-cellar rocket ship.

Methinks that the Hubble Palette is like a kind of Lingua Franca, and people who are used to it start to get an intuitive understanding about what the image is saying about the astrophysics, so I'd stick with it unless there is some really good reason not to.

Very best,
Mike

Thanks very much Mike! Er, sorry maybe it's just me but I can't see Snoopy either. Guess we all have fertile imaginations! Nice work on yours too
Cheers
Andy

VERY seldom imaged area, but a stand-out nebula for sure. Might try it again one day.

Here's my piddly effort with I think 1 hr NB total on it (not hijacking your nice efforts, just for comparison)

Onya Lewis, looks good for only an hour's data

I've never seen that before.
It reaches 78° at 2.30am - looks like a good target.

Cheers Allan, have a go
