M16 and the Pillars

This is my attempt to get a bit more detail in an M16 shot to emphasis the internal structures, mainly the "Pillars". Consists of 9x10mins in each of Ha, OIII and SII in Hubble palette. Processed entirely in PI.

Tried a couple of things to create a "dusty" look around the bright coloured part of the image. Not sure if it worked but I kinda like it.

Details:
Scope: Celestron Edge HD 8" with Moonlight focuser
Mount: Orion Atlas AZ-EQ G
Camera: Atik One 6.0
Filters: Astronomik NB 6nm
Guiding: OAG with Atik GP camera and PHD2
Capture: SGP
Processing: Pixinsight (PS used to create the jpg posted here)
