I took these frames back in mid-December and just finished my first pass on the processing. This is a two frame mosaic that was captured with an uncooled ZWO ASI174MM camera and a Tele Vue NP127is (528mm e.f.l. with 0.8X reducer, f/4.2). Each half of the mosaic had 84 x 96 seconds of exposure through a Baader 7nm H-alpha filter (134 minutes of total integration time for each panel).
Processing was done in PixInsight and Photoshop CC2015.
There are a few banding artifacts (from the camera) which I may work to remove and I didn't apply any noise or star reduction in PI since I thought I could wait until it had been exported to Photoshop to do those kinds of tweaks. But, with more work on those areas and a 2X drizzle in PI I think I could get a better result (maybe in the next day or two, the drizzle is needed as the stars were undersampled).
This is a 1276 x 1200 image, reduced significantly to meeting the CN posting guidelines (the final matrix was about 2K x 2K).
