I'd say sweep from east to west from the NE quadrant of the cloud, move south one FOV when you reach the westernmost extremity, sweep west to east, move south one FOV and repeat. Use a bit of magnification, say about 100-150x, just to bring out every little fuzzy and some detail. You might need a few A4 sheets to fit it all in
