Darn right, you should be well pleased with that outcome, and I can assure you it's far better than any M78 that I've captured!

I posted Robert's pic to show what's there, when captured with state of the art, moneys' no object research grade gear, and admittedly - it's incredible.

Equally incredible imo, is to get a fine result like yours, with far more modest gear, from one's own backyard. Well done
