Last week I tried to capture it, but powerbank for powering the tracking motor was flat.
Next challenge: Elephants Trunk IC1396 (even fainter) ?
Or the Barnards Loop / Rho Ophiuchi nebula / Horsehead ?
These objects are all photo only.

I have never seen the Horsehead, even though some others looking the same 12" Dob said they could. So yeah, believe me, I am not given to making exaggerated claims. I thought the Rosette was more difficult to see than the Californian.
