THis image was taken in a trip from
Montreal Canada to Rodeo NewMexico. The seeing was 4.5/5. No bias and no darks in the calibration.

Hi,

nice picture; what are the exposure and equipment details?
Just one little observation; either the alignment of the sub exposures was not very accurate or perhaps your guiding went off road --> The stars give an oval shape..

Otherwise the colour-balance and detail is just sweet!

The details is Ha 5nm for 150 minutes bin 1x1; RGB's are 60 minutes bin 1x1. All the sub exposures are 5 minutes unguided. With the paramount mx and televue 76 mm with the atik 460ex. ( it was the first time I used the Mx and I had many troubles with the pinpoint and the auto guider lodestar with PhD.oh yes it was very windy 30 miles/hr....)
Treatment was with pix insight and PS.

Tank's for the comment it help me to adjust the wrong things.  ;D

30 mph?! Holy Cow extreme astrophotography  8)
The other suggestion I could make; there is a little green touch in you pic... You can get rid of this with different processing functions like PixInsights SCNR averaged to green.
The Halo around Alnitak is some kind of greenish; on the invisible side the rest of the colour palette also is slightly unbalanced...
