The Heavenly Grail - Vela SNR in NB

My take on the Vela SNR in NB.

It's a huge and fascinating region of space, with a bolt of strong O3 & much Ha present.
The S2 is only subtly different to the Ha emission line, so I found the processing quite challenging to yield a true tricolour image.

That being said, I'm happy with this as last - inspired by marvellous versions from Strongman Mike Sidonio, Rakibul Hasan, Paul Haese & Marco Lorenzi - but mostly Mike's for the colour mapping method.
My gear can't match their's for aperture & sharpness though!

Ha = R, O3 = B, S2 = G approx 6.5 hrs of each in 30min subs - total of around 20hrs.
Taken from light pollution city, in suburban Melbourne.

Can't help but think it reminds me of the Holy Grail floating there in space, clip clop, clip clop

C&C welcome, as always
