Nice detailed NA neb.  Not sure about the orange version.  How were you adding the Ha?

Thank you Martin.

I was experimenting with colors on the orange version trying to get similar as on Hubble website. I set up new h-alpha layer and blended it with around 50% opacity then slightly change the colors in channel mixer.
