The reason is probably a combination of the following:

2. Seeing (my location - coastal in the tropics, is unlikely to have better seeing).
3. Skills of the person processing the data 
However, colours are way more pleasing in my attempt  and longer integration seems to have allowed me to go deeper. |
My drizzled Ha has a FWHM of a little over 4 or 2.25” which is still well within the resolving power of your very nice and sharp 4”
Sounds like seeing conditions is probably the limiting factor.
Given the integration time, the death and smoothness of yours is fantastic! I had to hit mine with pretty much every noise reduction technique that PI offers haha
It is the deconvolution and drizzling that brings the detail and given the smoothness and quality of the data in your image I was wondering how much you could extract from it
