Well, after looking at the Fabulous M42 stuff out here as of late Im a little humbled, though I am in a posting mood ( a rarity) so here it is.
This is my second pass at this guy this year ( translation with my current arsenal of equipment ) and I think it worked out well, its a nice target after all.
Im still getting used to this scope and its personality but I think Im getting a handle on it.

Near Full Moon and Chicago suburbs aside Heres what 180 Min of Narrowband imaging yielded me.

Cam: ST10-CFW10 Scope: MN 7" F4 Mount: G11Gem Other Stuff: Lots

55 min S 55 Min O 70 Min Ha; LRGB HaSHaO

Hi Greg,
Your green channel is dominating this image. I'm not sure how you assigned your channels but I would assume that the Ha is mapped to green?
With narrowband, it's good to shoot for equal S/N in each channel. Ha usually predominates, which means you need more exposure time for SII and OIII.
Here's a pleasant rendition of the PacMan:
