Thank you Colin. I couldn't find your attempt at it on Astrobin. It's a different target to what I'm used to imaging so it has been fun trying to capture it with my 105.

Thank you Steve. I tried other channels (Sulphur and Nitrogen) and there was hardly any signal, but if I get a chance I may try adding a bit more data.

Very nice structure shown, including the faint wispy bits of stuff around 3 or 4 o'clock.
Thank you Mike and Trish. The separation is only 3.8", which equates to about 3 pixels with my camera/telescope. perhaps shorter than 15-minute exposures would help in splitting them a bit more?

Thank you Geoff. I'm starting to gradually understand the limitations of a small aperture.
