Nice, I did an image of the area recently but cropped out the dragons egg as it was too close to the edge in my framing so it was a distraction rather than adding to the image. I am wondering if the Oiii is stretched a bit too hard and making the fainter areas more noisy? And perhaps similar on the stars? not noisy as such but there are so many in the area, a lighter stretch on the RGB might make them a little less punchy?
Interesting factoid. There is a tiny little planetary nebula in there, in your image it is about three quarters left, three quarters down, a titchy red smudge below the triangle of bright stars. It is ESO 226-15. You have it more clearly in this image than I had in mine, it really only shows in my RGB image, in my RGB-HA-Oiii version it is nearly invisible. I saw it when trawling my RGB image for obvious defects and had to go hunting online to work out what it was.
