This is amazing. Love the purple accents in there!
Do you have tips to get those purple accents? Or is it a workflow secret? Great work!

Thanks, Rune. Obviously all the colors are a mixture of the primaries. In the case of magenta (I assume this is your purple), it is where the OIII-blue and SII-red emissions are nearly equal and greater than the Ha-green. No workflow secret, just a matter of balancing the colors, often by enhancing the usually weaker OIII and SII.
