I captured this target slowly over the course of 4 night and processed in Pixinsight and a little in Photoshop. I hypertuned my EQ6R during this period and I think that contributed to taking so long to finish (starting in Feb, ending in May). I had many issues getting the tuning right, but eventually succeeded and have much better performance guiding than when I started off.
