I don't think Jay's image was off the mark.
Candy floss pink is probably not right, as there is a fair bit of dust in the same region.
Spent a bit of time calibrating the colour in this one....

Nice image Mike.
Star are a little soft (well... for an A-list image) ...but I'm thinking high-res astrographas have *exactly* the same seeing problems as similar aperture long FL scopes.
