I've attached my version from Wiruna which is a dark site. That's a deep shot straight RGB. The colors are more inline with Paul's shot who images from a dark rural site as well. There's plenty of grey/blueish reflection neb and some red and pink. The neighbouring starfields are more golden towards the right and bluer towards M20 top left so there's a lot of colour variations in the field. Your fov is narrower so again you'd get slightly different colors based on processing and starfield granularity. Andy's blended a lot of Ha in his shot to increase details and worked out colors accordingly because he's imaging from a light polluted environment. I guess everybody has his own take and style of processing. There's nothing misleading about it. Different techniques and conditions. Different results.
