Always avoided imaging this previously because I thought it looked so messy - and it is.  But since I have run out of targets I can do from home, and after seeing Roberto's lovely rendition a while ago, I thought I'd give it a try - but not a patch on Roberto's. 

Taken over 4 nights.  Skywatcher ED72 and Atik460EX. 
Full to last quarter Moon.
SkyshedPOD observatory where the dome had to be taken off as the target was high. 

Ha 21 x 600 (3h 30m)
Oiii 11 x 300 and 14 x 600 all binned x 2 (3h 15m)
Sii 10 x 300 & 16 x 600 all binned x 2 (3h 30m)

Total imaging time 10h 15m

Bortle 7/8 SE London

Thanks Dave, looks for like an Abstract painting nightmare to me.  Lol
