Here is a collection of black 'n white images from June 5-6.
All were taken with an SBIG STT-8300 CCD camera on a Takahashi 130mm refractor
Various exposure times, but each was 30 minutes or less.
And finally, a daytime photo rendered in black and white:

Re: Adventures in Monochrome
Beautiful set of images, Steve! The Barnard's Galaxy one reminds me of a slightly brighter version of the view I had in the eyepiece of my 6" refractor from Hazen's Notch Campground up in Lowell, VT. The sky there is probably a Bortle 3 quality. See that object from my driveway in Bridgewater is a gargantuan task that requires liberal application of averted imagination.

Re: Adventures in Monochrome
Mono is 3X as sensitive as OSC and I sure wish I could turn the Bayer matrix filters off and on. 30 minutes indeed.
