Jason Jennings' rendition for colour accuracy.

I have had a prod at this one myself....and found the h-alpha data swamped SII and OIII....hence despite your and other fine NB examples of this object remain puzzled on the booming SII treatment. I may need to re-visit this space with my newer 3nm filter suite and see whether it revises my view.

Curiously Ansel Adams was never comfortable with film in the day to capture accurate colour and found B&W a more creative medium for his seminal works.

I suspect accurate colour deep sky images, even with all our digital bells and whistles, present similar challenges
