Greetings Bert, yes well done, and yes the Helix is a good target Yours is a very pleasing image, with nice small stars, the narrowband filters cut down on starlight.
Indeed the helix is of very low surface brightness despite its bright magnitude, but its spread over such a large area making it very hard to see from any urban location (without a nebula filter anyway).
