Eta - SII starved

Well, here's the best I could come up with the data I got. Some decent Ha and Oiii but I failed to get enough Sii and the weather being what it is ... well ... frustrating to say the least. Actually after checking Eddie's great repro I realised my Sii exposures weren't long enough. Should have gone for 20min instead of 10min. Live and learn. I've collected so much data on this one though I still processed it but I mixed the Oiii in the red, Ha in green and Sii in blue to bring the details. Massive cheating on the color side of things and processing but hey, the end justifies the means? Until I get more Sii that's the best I can do. Hope you like it.

That was taken with and ED80 at prime focus. There is approx. 5 hours of Ha, 4 hours of Oiii and 4h of Sii. Captured with a QHY8 Bin1x1 Gain:1 Offset:60 in Neb2 and guided with PHD on the C5". NB filters were baader 2" filters.
