I definitely think it was worth your effort going from 4 to 7 hours though.

Maybe try and brighten it a little as you've lost some faint deatil in the out flame region.

I see when i do some image flicking that you made the picture darker and lost a bit of nebulosity in the outer region.

Have to agree with Andrew and Martin though the outer region detail seems to have diminished a bit in the second one.
Look forward to you posting the image with the added RGB you can grab when the neighbour returns home

Thanks all - excuses, excuses but it seems that the tiff - jpeg image compression helps in the loss of that fine wispy detail on the periphery of nebulae. It's there in the high res tiff but disappears on the jpegs honest!!
Anyhoo, here's a repro...
