Still a pretty good effort Martin. I hear your pain in trying to chase galaxies in Bortle 8 skies. I haven’t tried again since upgrading to the 2 larger slopes but I did tackle the hamburger with my C5 a while ago. I’ve got a pair of Galaxies I’m looking at chasing soon that will fit in the FOV of my 8” and I want to try Markarians Chain again. I’d love to be able to both at home but I might be pushing the proverbial up hill.
Just for giggles Martin, why don’t you try and throw another few hours at it and see what happens. Maybe aim for 5 or 6 hours in total. Worst case scenario, it won’t help but everything else up there isn’t going anywhere soon so you won’t miss out.
