NGC 2736 Pencil nebula in HOO with QHY268M

The moon was gone, the nights were warm and the Pencil was up.
So aimed the scope to it and started imaging.
In total 33.75 hours of data collected in Ha and O3. Ha was 17.75 and O3 the remaining 16.
I might have stretched the data a bit too much, but I like the nebulosity around the Pencil.
It is slightly cropped to remove the stacking artifacts.
All comments welcome.
I have now replaced the O3 filter with an Antlia Pro and cleaned the sensor (very dusty).
Location is in bortle 6, Western Australia.

Equipment used:
SW HEQ5Pro GOTO
SW ED80
Orion field flattener
Esatto focuser
QHYOAG
ZWO ASI120MM mini
QHYCFW-L3
QHY268M
Antlia Pro Ha, Orange O3
