Is that allowed??? I guess there are no rules with false colour images but if you map the channels with a single colour palette then at least we know which colours represent what.
Having said that, it's a very attractive image and beautifully executed. However the pale blue makes me think it's a reflection nebula, which it isn't - I guess it looks close enough to an RGB and that it kind of plays mind tricks.
(...and IMHO narrowbanding at Clayton is waste of those beautiful dark skies you have. Maybe you could compromise and add some narrowband data to your LRGBs for extra highlights.)
