You've made a good start and I think the real challenge is in the processing.

I suspect your H-alpha channel is less noisy than all the other channels but I've no experience of the optimum way to combined them.

I agree with Mark, your challenge is in the processing, plus I am not sure this is really a suitable target for HaLRGB. 

Once you can afford to buy yourself an Oiii filter this target really "shines" in bicolour. 

But a good effort never the less.
