Hmmm maybe. I will take a bit of a look. I did a very slight sharpen on a 45% mask early on but could maybe venture a little harder with max filter sharpen via mask.

No light pollution from where I am imaging it. If I get time I will post some of the individual frames of an LRGB. Yes there is some of the band within each filter but not enough to show this sort of detail and intensity by a long shot.
Thanks for your thought and nice comments.

Not much skill level on this one Bob, just happen stance really, but thank you anyway.

I like the shells. Lots of interesting structure there

Yes NB is so tricky and matter of choice really. As you say dealers choice. I think though some colourings look more effective than others.
You could be right about the blue stars. Just staring at them now I see a little too much cyan. Will take a look at this in a while. Thanks for pointing it out.
I like the structure too. Pretty cool looking.

Initially I did not think narrow band would be for me either. I found though that it is the combination of the data which is important and can make or break an image. That green look is a bit of a turn off, but subtle blues and yellows always look great.
Well thank Ken Crawford. I did a search on the net and there are only a few examples of this object. One of note is Ken's and the other is Steve Crouch. I particularly liked Ken's and thought it had great potential.
I look forward to your result and thanks for you comments.
