Sh2-129 in HST palette

Sh2-129 in HST palette, S-II = Red, H-a = Green and O-III = Blue Sh2-129 in "natural" colors, mixed from narrowband data.
I imaged H-alpha for this at night of 24.03.
It can be seen here:

Last night I managed to shot S-II and O-III channels. The signal is extremely weak, but real.
I have never seen this target in HST palette and there is generally very few images of Sh2-129.
This is a large nebula, the field of view is about five degrees wide in the image.
