No doubt. I'm on 5 hours so far on Ha, but that doesn't explain the blotchy background.
here's what I mean. Comparing my image to Trần's.
I'm "picking up" much more faint background data, but Trần is picking up more of the outer shell. That tells me my data is bad, because if I can pick up the fainter stuff, I should also be getting the shell, and even on a heavy stretch, I'm not.
