Yes, there is definitely differentiation in this region between all three wavelengths, so to me, ideally if you take data through three filters then three colours or hues should end up in the final product and with smooth transitions between the three, or else you have kinda wasted the effort of collecting data through the third filter  It is easy to lose the three colours without really realising it, mainly through heavy colour manipulation in processing. Having said that, the final image can still look good with a more bichromatic colour scheme, as is evidenced by the many fine Bi-Colour (usually Ha & OIII) wavelength ordered emission line images out there

Thanks muchly, Mike. Saw a very fine 3-colour version today on APOD!

Thanks, Rick. We love that little thingy that looks like ET about 3/4 of the way toward the top left corner.

Also showing the flows in the gas on the right hand side quite clearly not often seen.

The shockwaves are reminiscent of the Seagull nebula's "wings".
Colour choices notwithstanding, that's solid food for both creative and scientific thought.
When I get time, I'll be sure to revisit my image armed with this new info, but meanwhile I have to prepare an astro processing talk for the ASV and an Astro imaging talk for the AIPP Event, so personal projects are on the back burner for the next couple of weeks!
Good research guys

Hi, Andy! You have clearly earned yourself a spot on the Most Wanted List. Well done.
