Hi, I tried to get it and I did I think. I put an extension tube in my 3 x barlow to try and darken the sky down as much as possible and increased my exposure from 1/200 down to 1/80 and took the best 22 out of 56 frames...then stretched the heck out of it. My eyes have been playing tricks on my about seeing it in my images and in the eyepiece but 99% sure I have it. Definitely 1 more day will do it though.

Enjoy!

Joe
