SHO Tarantula

NGC2070 in narrowband Hubble palette (SHO). Subs taken over 4 night back in February with a few attempts at processing since. Have never really succeeded in getting an image I am happy with of this until now. Finally managed to tweak the colours to something hopefully a little interesting. Narrowband sometimes tends to look a bit bi-colour even in the Hubble palette, with this image I was able to get a bit more colour variety with red, green, blue along with traces of magenta, cyan and yellow showing up.
Details:
Stellarvue SVR102T-IS scope with 0.7 reducer
Feathertouch 3" focuser
Orion Atlas AZ-EQ G Mount
ZWO ASI1600mm-Pro camera
ZWO Filter wheel
Astrodon NB Filters (Ha 5nm, OIII and SII both 3nm)
ZWO OAG with QHY5iii C guide camera
Image acquisition with SGP, guiding with PHD2
Processed with Pixinsight

Total 8 hours 35 minutes of data in 5 minute subs (Ha x30, OIII x 24, SII x 49)
