My first experience with SHO imaging. Pure Hubble palette: S->R; H->G, O->B, no Pixelmath formulas used. As I learned AFTER I captured the main bulk of lights, I used the wrong gain settings (facepalm), so the image is a little bit noisy for almost 23 hours of total exposure, but that's still a huge improvement over my previous OSC camera.

This time I used Pixelmath formulas to mix Ha and Sii signals to produce more gold/cyan like image, as well as give stars and dust their natural colors.
