NGC2359 Thor's Helmet

This one has been evading me. It is so subtle and faint that I was beginning to doubt that I could get it in just an 8" Newt. But I gave it another run last night with the QHY8 and a MPCC at prime focus; OAG with QHY5 and PHD. 4 Hours worth in 10 minute subs. My processing sucks and I think I need to revisit my flats but for what it's worth, as a 'work-in-progress' here is my attempt.
