I got this last night even though the seeing was ok. This is an interesting object photographicly because less is more. Longer exposures tend to burn out the arc near the center and also render the nebula flat. I used my C-11 @ f/10 with a modified Canon XTi @ 800asa. This is about 4 minutes of data. This is a small crop from the original image.

You've captured that beautifully, Joe. And only four minutes! I think it's one to add to my future target list.
