Here is a short exposure of NGC 1398 I did two years ago from light polluted skies right behind the Australian War Memorial in Canberra:

A nice long exposure with a sensitive camera like yours from dark skies would look beautiful I recon? If the seeing was good too there should be even more subtle detail than this image shows..?

That’s a superb NGC 1398 - a beautiful sky background and gorgeous tonality throughout, with not a hint of noise – that’s the direction I’m trying to head in!

Cheers
