Regardless how many hours I did (over 50), outer edges near side of the galaxy-like structure wouldn't show up. Last week though, with 3nm filters and quattro 12/ASI2600mm these area would be visible in a couple of hours. I'm having problem with my CEM60 after changing to a pier tripod at the moment with ultra low DEC guiding errors but much higher in RA. I was hoping to find the cause and post an image.
Cheers,
John
