This is my overly ambitious attempt to capture this area after seeing it within this image by Bray Falls
After a night of imaging my Ha looked promising, so it was on to OIII. Two nights and 14 hours later I barely had a blip of nebulosity. The universe was reminding me of my light polluted skies

I pushed on anyway and collected a night of SII (a little stronger than Oiii) along with RGB.

The resulting image is a H-SO-SO, with a blend of Oiii/Sii in the blue and green... stretched to their limits.

Ha - 128x180s
Oiii - 266x180s
Sii - 93x180s
RGB - 60x60s

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
