Keep up the good work. Not trying to hijack your thread but will add my image just for comparison, approx 6hrs total imaging time over several nights 2 weeks ago.

No worries Jeff, nice to see your effort on this one too. I think we're a dying breed, still using 20th century technology! 😄 It's good to show those contemplating getting into the hobby on a tight budget that you don't have to buy a $1000+ astro camera to make a start . Sure, the results are better but you'll still get results with the DSLR. Interesting, your shot is from more than 3X the data that I had, so I often wonder if there is a limit to the benefits of long integration times on some objects.
