A Lemondade M31

I had some time left the other night after shooting the main set of exposures for the night.
I hate to waste any of my rare clear skies, especially since the seeing was uncommonly good that night and the moon was favorable.
I took some RGB exposures of M31, or so I thought, but it upon processing, it looks like the filters didn't change. I'm suspecting the usual culprit: operator error.
Applying that disgustingly cheerful philosophy of "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", I made a synthetic luminance of what exposures that I had.

I feel like I'm flying right into it! Sweet lemonade, indeed.
