First image of year - Short H-alpha Pelican

Managed to get 1 hour of 10 min subs in H-alpha which I was quite happy with - my first imaging session of the year thanks to light nights and cloud up here in Scotland. Initially had problems with dark haloes around stars that I think I have managed to sort out. I intend to add to this and I must say I like the monochrome here. Is it worthwhile adding LRGB or do you think I should push on gathering H-alpha as the atrocious weather allows ? Any criticisms re image very welcome.

Nice work. I would add a few more hours. I usually aim for about 6 hrs in ha.
