As I asked on AB, one thing, I'm trying to work out the image scale you shot it at though, as the specs on your scope and camera combined, seem to suggest something much coarser than the 0.55"/pix AstroBin and in fact the detail in your image, suggest...?

Thanks Mike! I drizzled at 2 x set at 0.75 drop scale and did not down-sample afterward. Because even at 2 x there was no degradation in quality. This is because of faultless dithering at time of capture allowing for variation in FOV. The 103 APO with this bright target (as you say), allows for some fine detail given enough integration time - so you can up sample with no compromises.
