Here we have a look at the Cone/Christmas tree area nebulae in LRGB.

Very bright stars here which are very dominant - no point battling with them when they are this bright.

Again the longer focal length seems to have found some more colour variation showing some yellows and gold in the area not often seen so clearly.
