Thanks Allan.
Interesting Ha areas and the dust that appears to be rising up not far from the core not unlike our MW.
If I get some clear nights I'll take some Ha.

It has a bit more detail but still your image is right up there
as one of the best amateur images ever taken of this galaxy.
Still - you could maybe even extract more from your data
in the coming weeks or months with more time put into processing. e.g :
3 x drizzle stacking.
different stacking methods - entrophy weighted etc
finely adjusted masks to carefully select areas for LAB mode.
