This is just 3 x 2 minutes of Halpha 10nm schuler filter. Sbig ST2000XM, NJP, William Optics 80mm triplet at F4.8.

Thanks to Warren Keller for his Photoshop tutorials. I paid special attention to not burning out the highlights and this preserved the core details which would normally be burnt out.

Greg,
Nice work. This is an object with wide dynamic range - easy to burn out the bright areas. You have processed this one pretty well. Congrats.
