Thanks for all the feedback guys ...BUT you are all mad (and blind) of course
To put you on the sane and narrow I have pointed out a few of the more obvious strange things living in N44 (thanks for the insight from some of you) but sorry Marc couldn't reeeally see your guy looking the other way though
The Main Nebula looks like either:
1) Admiral Ackbar
2) The Spaghetti Monster
3) a (crazy) wide mouth Bull Frog
Then there are the following:
4) a Gremlin
5) Floyd Pepper (from Dr Teeth Muppet Band)
6) a down hill skier
7) a rabbit
I am uncertain about the orange colour too. I thought that about my version which has this object a bit orange too. I think it ought to be slightly more brown/red, but horses for course.
Despite different equipment, filters, processing (and exposure time ) we have come up with essentially exactly the same colours...so we must be right and all those dodgy retina cones out there have clearly lost their calibration ...they probably see shapes in the orange nebulosity too
Super image Mike! I like those colors as well. While most professional would wavelength order narrowbands, it's anything goes when it comes mixing the channels. Great detail too. That little camera does well on short fl systems. Happy New Year!

Thanks DvJ Gleason yes the SXH694 is a wee ripper but I am starting to itch for the big ProLine again though...
Nice one Mike; good detail and the colour looks OK to me for a NB image I like the Wide Mouth Bull Frog analogy, and it appears to me that the frog is spewing something out of his mouth (Floyd Pepper?)
I'm normally not a fan of narrowband "colours" but I do like the look of yours, especially the orange.
Ross.
Cheers Rossco I could have perhaps made a more universally appealing colour palette if I had collected some RGB and or SII as well but I'm glad that plenty of (other crazy?) people still like it none the less
high quality hi res image of a very interesting region - as for the colour, I can't even get my RGB right, so could not possibly comment on your NB

Yes, my Ha was take in quite good seeing, the OIII in very poor seeing, so with only two filter data sets to work with I processed it such that the details in the nebulae are predominately coming from the Ha. The OIII was tricky to use as well becasue it was so blured. The resulting colours were a whim given the limited variation in data although Paul H came up with the same colour scheme in his recent wide field version, even with SII and LRGB in the mix.
