I've always struggled with this object to get a good colour balance, or a good dynamic range since it's so bright, and as I learn more tricks in processing and acquisition it's always an improvement on the previous effort. I guess this is why I still enjoy photographing the 'obvious targets', since they always look different!
This is about 12 hours worth of L,R,G and B with a night worth of H-alpha thrown into a super luminance channel as well.

And of course I'd appreciate any constructive criticism!
