Pickering's Triangle in HA and O3

This is an experiment that didn't go terribly well. I tried to
create a color version of Pickering's Triangle NGC 6979 in the Veil
using HA and O3 data. I need to gather some red data as using the HA
data alone makes the nebula look too salmon colored for my taste.

Here are the details:
Image comprised of 3 hours HA (4.5nm, 15min subs) and
3 hours O3 (4.5nm, 10min subs). I used HA for the red
and luminance channel, O3 for green and blue.
AP 130 @ F/4.5, ST-10XE, guiding by SBIG STV.
