I was finally able to get just a little more time on the Jellyfish Nebula for this season and include some SII and OIII data in the image! 
I guess we're all getting tired of it for this year, but I wanted to post my last attempt since I think the additional time allowed a nice integration of the different gases on the Jellyfish itself and highlights the nuances of the SII and OIII on the nebula and in the immediate vicinity.

I also posted an annotated version from PixInsight.
Capture Dates: 2/24, 2/26, 2/29, and 3/1.
Equipment
Askar 107PHQ w/0.7x reducer, ASI2600MM
Nebula Filters: Antlia 3nm S (1:00), H (1:40), O (1:10) narrowband filters (total 3:50 integration).
RGB Stars Filters: Antlia V-Pro R (0:28), G (0:21), B (0:29) (total 1:18 integration).

Another beautiful image Greg, and interesting color palette! Not many people display green in images, and instead modify it to some orange or yellow-orange, which ends up blurring the gas contributions a bit, but it works here. Thanks for sharing. Nice details as well.

@terri Thanks, Terri. I get pale and sweaty when I see that much green in an image!! 🤣 I've seen so many others that have this sort of palette on this target, though, I thought I'd give it a try. I do think the detail comes through with it a bit better than if I modified the color (which I tried).
I was very happy with the detail on the Jellyfish itself, and liked the representation of the different gases.
