I don't have a huge amount off data on this and have been struggling to get an image I'm happy with due to the faint nebulosity and dust around it. It would be great to triple the time on this but probably not going to happen this year so I'll make do with what I have...
I've been pushing the buttons in Pixinsight to see what it can do and came up with a combination of channels that gave something pleasing to my eye at least with (HaL)RGB in a starless nebula and calibrated HaRGB combination for the stars to sharpen them up. To be honest the time spent on the luminance was a bit wasted - I'd have been better off adding more Ha but hey ho....
I quite like how this one looks. It almost looks like it came from a OSC which may not be a good thing!
I've tried to go for a subtle look for the dust, etc as pushing it too hard would show up the lack of data. There weren't enough subs to let drizzling do it's magic effectively so I haven't cropped the image.
The stacks from APP comprised of
L 300s x8
Ha 600s x9
R 180s x8
G 180s x8
B 180s x7
