A Garden of Ghouls, Flowers and a Spider

Had a fun week shooting some narrowband with my Skywatcher Esprit 100. I've found a new spot in the garden where I can just see the SCP and thus the Tarantula (and LMC) is now a possibility. Have been dying to image 30 Doradus for ages. The processing has been a bit drawn out across various iterations as I've added data, RGB stars being the latest addition. It's a rather Halloween inspired framing (if you get into that sort of thing) which I think suggests ghouls, wild flowers and of course a spider. The spider seems more golden orb to me (being a QLDer).
Scope: Skywatcher Esprit 100
Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro (Gain 200 NB, Gain 76 BB, -10º)
Mount: Skywatcher EQ6-R
Filters/exposures: Ha 5nm 79x180s, OIII 3nm 67x180s, SII 3nm 60x180s, Astrodon RGB (each about 25x30s exposures)
