Heres one from last year

I am starting to go back through my raw images and apply better calibration techniques. This one is 36 x 1.5 minutes - unguided - and 6 x 5 minutes hand guided (never again!) so the stars and detail are a little bloated and elongtated, but you can start to see the outer ring of the nebula. Its with the modified 300D + Tak 530mm FL f3.3 astrograph. The first set of images was from June 23, 2004 and the second Aug 7, 2004 (if you look you will see a 12th magnitude asteroid slightly trailed near the lower left of the image)

I've attached a very small version, but for broadband users the full size image (500KB) is at:
