Some nice detail there Duncan.  Don't suppose you have an Ha Filter do you, as the Ha areas have come out a strange purple colour? I know you have a dual band filter but you were waiting to get a fiterwheel so you can change filter.

This is pure OSC RGB with a UVIRfilter. Colour has been calibrated with Pixinsights Spectrographic colour calibration so Gaia catalogue based. So the colours are 'real'. Stars are asinh stretched, dust stretched with EZSoftStretch which is a script using standard PI tools.
