I am finding this one really challenging from light drenched North Ryde and am wondering if light pollution versus my Canon DSLR is a forget it proposition.

The signal from this nebulae is so faint that shots from 600 - 1200 seconds on my C9 -> OAG -> Hutech LPAS filter -> Canon 400D simply can't distinguish signal from sky glow.

Is this a target that can really only be snapped from dark skies or with more expensive, sensitive astro cameras?

Thanks guys!
