About this image

Most summers I try to get an image of this impressive object. This year I've bought a second hand narrowband (7nm) H-alpha filter so I've been playing with that. This is unguided on a belt-driven NEQ6 so there is some trailing and I need to sort out the field-flattener back focus on this system but since I was in bed, asleep when it was being taken I can't complain too much.
