This was one of the first main targets I wanted to try with my new setup.

This image was captured from Portugal entirely with broadband data, without any Ha data, as I don't have a narrowband filter yet. I'm curious to finally get one and see what extra detail I can bring out (as well as to try shooting nebulae).

I'm still learning and improving my processing, so any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
