Good start there Sean. Try and grab a few images to stack. Also it seems that something is obscuring the view. I'm sure there's a chunk of nebula missing.

Cheers,
Cam

Hi Sean,
great start. Can you tell me what scope/imaging set up you have. Do you have a guide scope?

As Cam said, stack a few more images.

Good luck.

Hello! thanks for the feedback!

And Mark, i dont used a guidescope, i use a skywatcher GOTO AZ telescope with a 130mm aperture. i use a digital camera with a eyepiece attached to the camera lens. (Canon IXUS 105 with 20mm eyepiece)

Camera: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=380194875407247&set=pb.176299359130134.-2207520000.1358934681&type=3&theater

i can take a max of 15 seconds exposure on the canon IXUS, so i am limited to what i can image.
