I finally got around to reprocessing the RGB data that matched my recently posted Ha data of the Helix. These data were taken last fall. I stretched the data better this time I think. The OIII region in the center turned out well with a subtle teal color.

This is a LLRGB processing with the L=Ha.

Beautiful shot. I like the subtle bit of neb at the outer edge.

Tom,
Lovely image, very nicely done. I think I want to do this one later this year - your image inspires me (and gives me something to shoot for).

So by your description it sounds like your luminance channel consisted only of the HA exposure? - Interesting.
