The elongation isn't as noticeable in the LLRGB as it is in the L frame.

Overall, I like the shot Steve. I think somewhere in between both for colouring. I think there is a strong hint of Ha in part of this nebula.
Thanks Paul and Humayun for the kind words.
Paul it's a stock standard GSO 10:1 and I think you may be right
about the flexure.
Only thing is, I think in this case it may have been caused by some
of the later frames being rotated slightly by me bumping the DSI
somehow or it just moving by it's cord fouling on the GEM.
The reason I say this is because several re-align attempts using the
stack work better when I do a align with rotate instead of
just pure align.
