Two icons in one shot - Orion's best in OHaHb and R(G/B)B stars (Uwe Deutermann)

Two icons in one shot - Orion's best in OHaHb and R(G/B)B stars

Everybody who follows my images knows that I love to play around with this area of the sky, and this image is not an exception. Yes, it is an OHaHb image, conventionally processed as I would with an SHO image. Personally I like this representation better than the standard color assignments (mostly HOO), it just gives a shine to it that looks interesting.
And yes, this is a first light of my Christmas present!! Another known fact for those who follow me is that I hate (well ... maybe a strong word for it, but comes close) mosaics (I might have found the reason for it, will investigate), and well, what would be a solution for that? A short focal length together with the ASI 6200. 5 degrees it is, just love it! And the setup could not have been easier, follow the 14 cm rule from exit to chip, and voila, tha back focus is done, as easy as it sounds! And the whole train is at M54, also a super plus! Only remaining problem is the auto focus with the ZWO EAF and SGP, it came up with a wrong lowest point, I need to play with some parameters I believe to get this dialed in. If anyone has experience with this focuser on the ASKAR scopes, please let me know, I would appreciate any information.
What impressed me most was that I was able to capture the hydrogen clouds around those 2 iconic objects. They are not in the standard red, but I like the little bit mysterious way they came out.
I had to almost completely throw away the green channel for the stars since for some reason they created an awful halo around the bright stars. The red and blue filters were not perfect either, but manageable, although I would have liked them to be better.
Version C shows my new setup, I like the lightness of this one as well, my body appreciates it.

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.
