Ta. There's around 2 hours of Ha and 1 hour per RG&B channel.

The Tarantula is quite red, hence the temptation is to let the h-alpha component swamp the image.

But there are some really blue stars and OIII in the mix. The area is hardly monochrome but certainly NOT Teal, Yellow, Brown or Olive.

I think I've got the colour about right....but like so many deep sky objects with a large dynamic range there could be small but valid variations that are more pleasing to the eye.
