Helix Revisited

Been about a year since I posted here. The bright side of the lockdown is I have had some extra time to setup and tear down my telescope of a morning and evening instead of sitting in traffic. The result being a bit more opportunity to collect photons and more time to learn processing.
This one is (i believe) my best image to date. About 10 hours total of Ha and O3 with a smatter of time on RGB stars. GSO RC8 - 300 second subs through Zwo 7nm filters, ASI1600mm Pro camera gain 139. Still a little noisy possibly due to pushing the decon a bit too far? Advice always welcome.
