So with that in mind I am uncertain about your colour scheme. The Hubble palette is probably the most interesting of the two images.
I do however, like the field of view, composition and detail. I think the processing is slick with a smooth background.

Thanks Paul, I think I can relate to some of your comments. For example personally I can also say the same for the Prawn nebula. I usually start with Ha. I remember I was initially blown away by the amount of Ha in both of these two targets. But subsequently found S2 and O3 data much harder to collect and process and balance against Ha. This is probably the fact for most targets as I haven't tried many targets as yet. Colour usually don't bother me much and a lot of the time I find pure Ha more interesting than colour images.
