This image has been done at about the best seeing possible at our site (up to now). The image was very foggy with high clouds but this object is very bright so it does not matter to much, you only can see the haze at the bright stars. To bring out the red filaments, we added H-Alpha images to the L-channel with 30% weight and to the Red-Channel with 25% weight.
