You certainly have some serious binos.
Can you rig up a camera on one side?

Guessing here, but on a really clear night, and the binos supported somehow, you may be able to see it, however I doubt it.

As an example, through my 85mm scope I can't see faint nebula at all, until after a few minutes exposure.
And even then I use high gain to find and centre.

I haven't done it yet, but I am prepared to NOT see the Seagull properly until after all the processing.
