Updated the OP with a reprocess. Did slightly better on the stars due to a new trick I just discovered, slightly less oversharpened, and a slightly tighter crop. Original version is still on Astrobin, as well as the new revision.

Thanks very much Mike! It's a tough one, and while I haven't gone as deep as Ray and others have done, I'm still pretty happy with it.

Great work to capture that.
I am surprised that you got such a fantastic image from only a 120mm aperture.

Thanks very much Allan :-) Small pixels combined with reasonable seeing let you do a reasonable job with a 120mm refractor. Never going to get the same resolution as a nice big scope though...
