I've been operating at a much lower gain (56), but might have to try bumping that up a bit further if your results are anything to go by!

Looking forward to finally getting out tonight! I shoot all my narrowband at Gain 200 (offset 50) and my badband at Gain 76 (offset 15). Seems to work well :-)

Have to add though, I've not seen a Helix presented quite like that before - not altogether sure it works, but it's original!
Wasn't too much of a deliberate choice (some hues might have been sightly adjusted) but think adjustments to the dynamic range of the Ha and [OIII] (HDR multiscale transform in PI) did result in some interesting/odd colours. The purpose of the HDRMT was more to get the spikes from the [OIII] and all the inner bits of the Ha, and the blend for the luminance was adjusted so that the spikey [OIII] came through a little more. I think I tried to match Lum manipulations in the colour combination to a degree as well but maybe some mismatching there has twisted things a bit.
