I might do a few less subs though.
I stacked in two sets of 302 / 305 subs. Not too long, a couple of hours each.

You can never have too many subs!

Thanks Rick. I can trace a faint sign of outer extension on the other side but I would need 100 hours to get it more betterer. This image was taken in ideal conditions also. Perfectly clear cloudless sky, cool nights for low noise and high elevation. So yeah without narrow band and a cooled astro cam, it ain't gonna happen with this particular DSLR. It will be my personal benchmark to beat in the future.
