Looking forward to seeing a longer exposure.
(We had even worse than trees in the way last night: a cable for the dome roof opening mechanism came unfastened and fell down into the path of the dome shutter as it opened, causing a very scary BANG in the pitch dark. So our observing session was zero minutes and zero seconds.)
Best,

Thanks Mike, Crikey that cable incident must have been a wakeup call for you! Blending Ha and RGB is always interesting.
I have previously used the Starizona method described here to avoid the dreaded salmon pink -

But it seems that Marco Lorenzi's method
