Helix nebula for the first time!

I simply can't believe how faint and hard this image is to capture! I took this over a few nights. Its LRGB 60:16:16:16 through ED80 F7.5 DSI III Pro guided.

Its noisy and faint - but I think its the best I can do in my area due to Light Pollution. I used a Hutech IDAS LPS2 and Baader UV/IR (Although I am now thinking I should have not used either on this object!).

Anyone else find this object difficult?
