This is 7h of Sii, 5h of Oiii and 4h of Ha accumulated bits and pieces over the past few weeks. Luminance done from a stack of the three channels. I weighted the ratios 4:1:2 then tweaked until I got whitish stars. Turned out pretty blue and green but the stars didn't go too pink or red so I figured I had the ratios right. Googled up a bit of M8s on the internet, saw some red ones, some green ones etc... and it looked like the blueish green was the way to go. Anyway it's NB so the issue is moot
but I managed to keep the processing "natural" as I had so much data to play with.

... the little green men made me do it ... )
