I reckon you need to find one night with good seeing and hammer this one with the 17" alone. The details in the core and all the little gas jets will show up. You might even separate the 6 stars in the center. Combining all your data from smaller aperture scopes won't give you the resolution that you are after. And this one's not exactly faint so I don't think you'll get much improvement between 3h or 16h of exposures.
