Cheers boys
The main ring is quite bright, the second ring (of Ha and OIII) is very faint and the outermost (broken) ring of mostly Ha is
extremely faint. The conditions weren't the best, with strong winds on two of the three nights (thank god for my dome!) and less than favourable seeing and even after 6.5hrs of Ha through the 12" at F3.8 the outermost ring was coming along veeeery sloooowly...hence why I eventually gave up and thought, that'll do
