Description

Overall very unique area, consisting of mostly Ha, sparse SII, and lacking significant OIII, it ends up showing mostly in reds.  In this attempt I have combined Ha with S channels providing highlights (the yellow hues).  At the end I added RGB star layer which adds color variety to the picture.
