That's a pretty good result Sean, well done...and you can juuuust start to make out the 3rd jet in your negative version...

Lee Borsboom, was taking some of the best images of galaxies (and other objects), with any 8" telescope, anywhere on the planet! He was a clever processor and (mostly ) used deconvolution very well in his work flow and was fastidious in his mastery of collimation, so this enabled him to take good advantage of his very fine image scale. It is image scale and not focal length that counts...but that's a whole nother discussion

Shame Lee gave imaging away, a great loss to the deep sky imaging world IMO, I really enjoyed seeing his results
