To me the eye brows and outer faint structures are just a bit of fluff , the structures and detail of the core are what makes it click
I reckon 6 to 10 hours is enough on this object
Well done !!

Appreciate your comments Martin.
I normally don’t like green nebula but really liked the colours that came through in the broadband subs (much more than in the dual narrowband filter) and thought it added to the overall picture. I actually used LR to REDUCE the saturation in this one - I felt that the core was getting overpowered and starting to kill the detail.
I’ve really struggled with the noise floor in this image. It was huge (which is why I commented on your previous post). I’m dithering every 5subs, but I can see that there’s streaks in the noise in the RA direction which tells me ASIAIR wasn’t pushing DEC enough during dithering. This has never given me an issue before in the final result. It really killed any chance of resolving fine detail in the cometary filaments.
