The blue nebula (rich in OIII) is real because it is faintly visible on the DSS blue plate. As I see it the flux nebula is mainly visible at the lower right. It's difficult processing stuff this faint when you have light pollution.
Anyway here it is. I think I'll do something bright next time.

Great pic Steve.
I was able to observe NGC5121,but Longmore 8 eluded me even with blinking with an O111 filter.
Will try again sometime .
Cheers
