After a lot of screwing around with focus, exposure, ISO settings and Photoshop, I've finally gotten the best image out of about 30 to actually look like the Nebula. I was quite impressed with the outcome.
Using a Canon 50D DSLR attached directly to Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT via T-Ring adaptor.
7 Second exposure using no auto tracking and 3200 ISO.
If anyone has any pointers on the best exposure/ISO combination with this particular camera, I'll be forever greatful.

More to follow of this ever popular formation, once the weather clears up.
Best regards,
