Helix Revisited

Been about a year since I posted here. The bright side of the lockdown is I have had some extra time to setup and tear down my telescope of a morning and evening instead of sitting in traffic. The result being a bit more opportunity to collect photons and more time to learn processing.
This one is (i believe) my best image to date. About 10 hours total of Ha and O3 with a smatter of time on RGB stars. GSO RC8 - 300 second subs through Zwo 7nm filters, ASI1600mm Pro camera gain 139. Still a little noisy possibly due to pushing the decon a bit too far? Advice always welcome.

I don't think I've ever seen a noise-free image of this with detail. It's an object where you need to pick your poison.
This is a wonderful Helix. You've got the eyebrow in there, and whilst there's some noise, it's expected and you've kept the detail where it's needed. Great work!

Thanks Adam. I have recently had some advice on getting more vivid colours into my images as the best I could get from my effort last year was like a raw ocean trout colour. A fair bit happier with this years effort, having spent more time playing with Pixinsight - getting there.
