Now that's a pretty shot of a difficult Nebula.
Very nicely done.

Just curious, I'm assuming these were all on a tracking mount? What mount are you using?

Yes Clayton, my camera & lens are mounted upon a skywatcher star adventurer, tracked but unguarded at the moment.
Of which leads me on to a question for all fellow star gazing hogs
"Has anybody attempted to guide a star adventurer mount"?
The mount can only track in RA so the guide software would have to be adapted to suit but is it really worth the expense, extra payload?
