What software are you using for processing? I've never used anything but PixInsight so that's all I know

Thanks Colin. This was all PixInsight from calibration and stacking to completion. I tried adding Ha to the red channel in variations from 10% to 30% but all it seemed to do was make the core redder and what I like about the version I ended up with is the contrast between the core and the outer parts of the nebulosity. I was also going to add about 20% of Ha to the luminance but with nearly 2 hours of luminance I already had nice coverage of the fainter parts of nebulosity.


I think instead I'll save the Ha data for a run of narrowband when the moon is out next.
