Very cool image! Thank you for sharing it. but I have a couple of curiosity questions.
This looks very yellow to my eyes, what is causing that?
What would it look like in the HSO pallette?

1.) The green channel is so overpowering from the Ha, I adjust its tone and hue to a more suitable color to show nebulosity and definition.
