In your comments you point out this is difficult to capture. Very true. I’ve tried a couple of times and only gotten a smudge. Very nice!

Thanks, Mitche. It was very dim, even in Bortle 1 skies. Luckily after 2 hours of images, I was able to pull out some good detail! I’ve never tried to observe it with my naked eye though.
