Rosette in Ha

I have collected this data over a couple of nights. It is the result of 3 hours and 40 minutes exposure time (11 x 20 minutes). It was taken with my FLT110, QHY9 and a 7nm Baader Ha filter. Frames were stacked in CCD Stack and DPP applied. I then adjusted curves in PS a little to increase contrast. Any processing tips appreciated.

I have been trialing CCD Commander to automate data capture and it seems to be pretty good. For this image the software first slewed to a nearby bright star to focus before moving to the target. It then plate solved and moved it to the correct co-ords. Every two frames I had it move back to the focusing star and then back again. I spent most of the time monitoring progress in the house while drinking beer...
