That's a very fine image with great colours & star profiles.
Unfortunately it's just so faint that 20+ hours of exposure under dark skies seems to be required to really capture the faint, outer shells.

Hope you're happy with the results of the filter so far - I'm pleased with mine.
Thanks Pete,

Yeh not fussed on capturing 20 to 30 hours on one object , I would have to wait 2 months or more to score some clear nights and by then the object is to low in the west
Still happy what can be achieved with 5 or 6 hours under heavy LP and a little old $200 newt
