Second try with my new little Minitrack LX3 mount (watch out for the bell) . Unfortunately just half an hour of total exposure (not counting about 10% rejects) before moon and clouds appeared.
In order to get an enhanced visibility of this magnificent nebula complex with such a short integration time, I used this "trick": A copy of the processed image was reduced to the pure nebula using Starnet++, stretched without stars (and a little gradient reduction) and this image blended back (50%) in to the original as a separate Gimp layer.
