Since my observatory is now embedded in severe light pollution, I have taken to imaging in narrowband. here is an image of Andromeda Galaxy in H-alpha. It shows a nice ring of hydrogen "flowers" around the periphery of the galaxy. 10 x 15 minute exposure with 130EDX refractor at F4.5

Beautiful! Amazing what the narrowband can do. And your rendition also captures the "milky" affect that I get visually with a big scope under decent skies.
