Hope it said hello to Santa. :P Unfortunately it's faded quite a bit since it headed north and blends in with the star fields now. Tonight it will be only 2.5 degrees north of Alberio in Cygnus, tomorrow night 1 degree. It will climb higher over the next few days.

I found it a difficult object to both see and photograph in a small scope like the ED80. It needs a bigger gun.

Pics with an ED80 at F4.4 with different stacking methods.
