Here's one I shot this last week over 2 nights from my dark site observatory in NSW Australia.

TEC180mm fluorite, FLI ML8300 camera, Baader 50mm square filters.

Nice detail, but the color seems "off" to me -- orange center, green to the left. Maybe it is just my monitor.

Greg,
Very nice. This is a pretty colorful region and you captured it well.

Lovely image--spectacular mix of colors.

I'm curious... Do you bin your 8300 when imaging with the TEC? Or is your seeing good enough to derive some real benefits from the 0.9 arc seconds/pixel?
