Simon,
That is a lovely rich image.
My version from Pier 14 with 30 x 240 sec subs for each filter came out like this:

If you don't mind me asking, how did you process your image to get that rich blue? I am still feeling my way with narrowband. I read the tutorials and try things out, but my version never look like the best Hubble palette images.
I mean, I am pretty happy with this image. No complaints, I quite like the colours, but I would like to have a bit more control to vary colours over a wider range.

Please ignore my dylexia wherever possible, just be thankful I can control my Tourettes ;)

Honestly the best starter tip I can give you is the same advice I gave you for filter splits
The reason you are being forced towards one particular shade is the highest signal strength by a massive margin is in your image is HA and this needs to be reduced a lot or more data collected for the other two.
Balancing what each filter collects in a way that suits the signal strengths of an object you are imaging saves time as well as makes colour balancing within post processing a million times easier
As a quick and dirty test and this is very rough and ready split and will obviously get a noisier image but try removing 50% of your HA subs, 20-30% OIII and leave SII as is. Then re-stack with the new percentages and play and see what difference it makes
I know my my percentages are way out but for a bit of fun and a general nudge towards the right direction it should help. A good foundation is the best thing to build upon

Yes, that was next on my list to try out. I was just interested that Simon's data is much closer to even time for each filter than the 1:1.5:2 that we were discussing. I was interested in what his workflow was, 'cos I am probably doing something spectacularly stupid ;-)
