I suppose though, I should put an orientation into the description just so people don't assume N up, E left.

Note added: Not sure why you think it's upside down. I did a plate solve and it's oriented N up E left, which is the usual orientation in star atlases. See the thumbnail. Still, telescopically I suppose it would be south up--but, sheesh, who looks through telescopes these days?

Nah, nah, there is nothing wrong with the orientation at all mate, looks fine, I had just made a comment in
my recent Swan thread how I just can't see this nebula in any other orientation than making it look like a Swan swimming but down hill, that was all. So no need to put explanations for your orientation, all good
Re the gold colour, it just looked like it was gold
between the stars too ie the gas itself, this was what I noticed, that's all. Actually, looking at it again, the gaseous areas between the gold stars are in fact looking more a browny-red-gold, which is probably quite legitimate if there is a lot of dust as opposed to gas in these areas, so excellent
(probably
)
