A DSLR is not the best way to capture this with any real detail but still quite pleased with the processed result. Had some fun with PHD going off course a few times.
12 x 60 sec exposures @ ISO 3200 through the Lunt 102mm.
6 through an Astronomik CLS filter, 6 with no filter to get some red balance.
DSS stacked with 6 darks. Processed in FITSWORK and PixBuilder Studio.

I have another 16 mins of exposures but problems with DSS not handling a lot of files at once so the processing has been pushed hard with the limited processed frames.

Good one Brent, it seems you are progressing nicely!
I've been collecting data on this one for a while, still not finished yet but I'll get to it
