I observed it tonight through the 16"10mm XW Pentax eyepiece 180xmag from my dark site,I was able to view quite a few of the galaxies in your image,but boy are those two bright stars a real PITA.
Putting them out of the field of view helps,but it would be preferable if they weren't there at all.  |
Delighted that we helped inspire you.

Aye, it is slipping off to the west. We had another go last night, but the air was murky brown, it was 27 degrees outside at 9pm, and the seeing was rotten. We gave up, though we should have been brave as it got cooler and clearer toward dawn. One last go tonight. It is already much cooler than yesterday, but cloud is predicted after midnight.
Best,
