True Colour Great Carina Nebula

Hi all,

First post to the "real" board and not the beginner section (gulp). I've seen some amazingly better versions of this target posted here and couldn't quite reach that level with this data.

This is 2.2 hours of 180s exposures over 2 nights using my 9.25" SCT Telescope / Hyperstar 3 / + QHY12 One Shot Colour CCD camera. In processing this, I've tried to draw out the details with respect to the natural colour of this MASSIVE southern hemisphere nebula. The blue/orange stars are not individually enhanced, and their distinct hues are the measure I use to judge the accuracy of the colour across the rest of the object.
