I do not have the equipment, time or patience for Astrophotography, but if I can set-up, capture and process an image like this in less than 5 minutes I gotta do it.
In a previous post I described how to easily find this gem. The B&W image is a good approximation of what you can expect to see thru binoculars (provided your eyes are dark-adapted and you are in a dark location!).
