Its been years since I imaged this. First time was 1995 with a 344x244 pixel CCD camera we made ourselves. Then it took summing a number of 20s images to show anything at all - the QE of the TI255 sensor was that bad. Things were better in the 2000's when I tried with a SXV-M7.
Tried again this evening and it was easy. The major features were apparent in a single frame. I will return again sometime, dither the images properly and go after the faint outer structure. Its a fascinating region of sky when you go deep. Probably best to wait until the Moon is out the way next time.
