NGC 6188 with SVBONY UHC filter (lol)

Hi all, first post here, been lurking a good while though, started up astro during lockdown last september and loving it! Anyway here's a bit of an experiment I tried the other week while the waning gibbous was high in the sky. I don't have a Ha filter, but I do have the cheapest possible UHC filter that I could find online that I bought early in my journey! Not sure if it's even for astrophotography really, and wasn't sure if the fairly wide bandpass would be at all effective. However after splitting the red and blue channels and processing as HOO I am quite happy with the results, even if they are a little unorthodox.

32x400" @ 90 Gain , -5 degrees w/ ASI071MC Cooled
Shot at 1100mm, AT6RC w/ CCDT67
SVBONY UHC filter
AZ-EQ6 GT
Calibrated and stacked in Siril
HOO recombination with StarTools
White balance and levels adjustments in PS

I don't know if I've uploaded this correctly or if there's some other way I'm missing, as the only method I could find limits images to 200kb(!) lol
