Bok's Valentine nebula ESO 210-6A

I had this finished but not finally edited when we went away on holiday to Albany. Perth was 42c & 41c while we where away. when we got home the inside was 35c so I sat down to cool off and edit and try and get it right. These are not RGB stars those filters arrived while we were away they have yet to installed, flats taken and offsets done.

This is 28 hours worth of shot time Ha SII O3 combined as Ha SII O3. I have to say I see a Gorilla family male with laser eyes.

QHY 183M -10c
QHYCFW 7 Filter wheel 4 ZWO 36mm unmounted astro filters LRGB 7nm & 3 Antlia Pro filters Ha SII O3 3nm.
Ha O3 SII 90 shots each filter 5 min over 4 nights.

Certainly is quite an area more like it but I find the editing side of these harder than the normal Nebulas. Glad that you do like the shot.
