Great result, it looks as it has beetaken using a UHC-S filter to give it that Bi-Colour look.

Top quality- I like that.

Super. Narrowband images show that the composition of the inner and out parts of the nebula are different. If you capture it well in natural colour you will see this clearly, just as you have done here. The inner part is more magenta, the outer part more red and Ha dominated.

Exactly. I have imaged this object in the past, but never managed to get this colour difference. I guess my imaging skill evolved...
