This was a much too dim object for me to image from my backyard with 4 minute subs. I need at least 10 minute ones for more detail in the clouds of the nebula.

You still got some decent detail in the main dark dust loop and I like the framing as well.

You may ease off on the noise reduction a bit to give more detail.
