Really artistic take. Ghostly even. You even tamed that awful foreground star that ruins most shots. Love it:)

You've done remarkably well to get an image of a DSO out of a Dobsonian, was it tracking?

Hello Carole, and Alacant. Many thanks for the wonderful feedback!

Carole, 

No it was not in tracking. Manual tracking!
