It's noisy, it's an ugly color, it's the best I could do this time around...
QHY 163M camera, Optolong filters, Sky-Watcher 190 Mak-Newt on a Celestron CGEM-DX.
I shot 10x60 sec., 2x2 binned of Ha, Oiii, Sii and 10x60 sec., 1x1 binned of Luminance. Cloud moved in during the Luminance session and wiped out most of the subs, so I opted for Oiii in place of the Luminance since it had the best response for the target... Not my best night!!
I looks not too bad at the size of the 2nd image below...
Enjoy!

And.... I bet you froze your buns off getting it, too. 
Actually a beautiful 5-6°C evening with the wolves howling and the coyotes yapping...
