Struggling to get the RGB frames for this now, by the time it gets dark enough, Ursa Major is not in a good position. Maybe next year.

Very nice, Dave. Clear image with good round stars at 90s unguided- very impressive.

Very nice!
Trying to capture it but for me it's a frame filling object and having difficulties with finding the right exposures. So going to try to make it a 4 piece mosaic, see if that works

Thanks Menno.
The scope is a 81mm refractor with fl=625mm plus the 0.67x reducer - it frames the object well.
