All the best for more data on it ...

Cheers Bob, thanks that was actually first light after upgrading my focuser/tube connections... i was getting some tilt depending on which direction i was shooting at, it may have been fixed now

Cheers Fred, indeed, too keen, you should see the actual subs
no shortage of noise! Yes, i've been slowly headed that way, hoping to have a cooled cam before summer
of course random things get in the way like, people without insurance running into your car when it is parked out on the street ... just when i was about to push the button on a cam

cheers Steve, yes plan to get some more data, perhaps 5 hrs for Ha/Oiii each. the noise is killing the faint stuff, i really have to push that black point to hide as much as possible. I think your version came up when i was searching this object, there aren't too many out there, yours and Marco's i think featured in the search engine.
Have also added a newer processed version, hoping it is a tad less faint. Also a slightly different blend Ha-HaOiii-Oiii. its in the original post or link below

Cheers and thanks for the encouragement everyone.
