The continuing torture of the Trifid, aka does my bum look too pink in this?

First attempt at blending Ha into the M8/M20 region LRGB by mixing Red+Ha and Lum+Ha. I tried a few different amounts. This version added 30% Ha to Red and 75% to Luminance. I also tried a few versions with the PixInsight HaRGBCombination script but didn't like any of those.

I don't like the way that the fine blue reflection nebulosity has been attenuated but I'm hoping I can take care of that once I get the pink stuff looking OK. So, what do you reckon? Too lurid?

Thanks,
Rick.
