You got the nice mustard colours that balance out the RGB of narrowband and which makes them look good when they do.

26 hours, tremendous effort. Is that your longest image ever?

Greg.
Thanks Greg, it was a hard decision deciding on exactly what colour scheme I would go with but in the end the amazing starburst OIII structure was too hard to showcase along with the fine Ha detail so I went with the Hubble colours because I think most people are familiar with them Oh and yes 26hours is the longest exposure so far, I had collected over 30 odd hours but fog, cloud and a few glitches ruied a few. Previously I had collected 21hrs on Cen A with 19.5hrs used.
