The Cat's Paw Nebula - Ha and HaRGB

NGC 6334 in Ha and also using Ha as a luminance layer on some (poor!) RGB data. About 7 hours of Ha and 3 hrs RGB captured in suburban Adelaide. (HaRGB image cropped a bit because of a halo from a nearby bright star - perhaps Shaula??).

ZWO ASI 1600MM-C and RC8 on a Mach1 mount.

Not sure I've done a good job colourising the Ha as the extreme contrast of the Ha image doesn't seem to work well with the RGB data. Any tips on how to combine better? Should I merge some Ha into the R channel first??

Full res available on Astrobin for Ha and HaRBG images.
