Detail in SNR RCW 103

Hi
With the ongoing bad weather time to reprocess old images. This is RCW 103 in Norma. Taken early in May. Ive seen very few images of this, particularily in resolution sufficient to show texture in the nebulosity. Its an odd object, has texture like the veil nebula but no green oxygen emissions at all, only the red of ionised hydrogen
6x10 mins ISO 400. Baader MPCC coma corrector, Hutech LPS filter. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Modded 350D
The full frame shot shows some very faint nebulosity bottom right and a small patch middle top
