NGC 6188 in Narrowband

Hi all, this is my first narrow band effort where I feel I have made some progress with getting a reasonable colour palette. I know I have a way to go but it is quite exciting to take a good step forward. Previously I was stuck on Ha dominated salmon coloured images. For this image I collected more OIII and SII data than Ha data and I balanced the levels when stretching to get a more balanced starting point. I also used Ricks colour script for processing which helped me tweak colours once I worked out how to use it. (I am slow to pick up anything to do with Pixinsight)

About 32hrs of data used in this image with 20min subs. 5hrs Ha, 12hrs OIII, 15hrs SII.

I discarded about another 21hrs of data as seeing has been poor to average lately.

FSQ106 with SBIG STT8300. Processed in Pixinsight.

thanks for looking and any feedback welcome.
