Found it!

I went to bed believing that this object was too faint for my system, with PixInsight crashing as I tried to process the frames.

This was on top the The Sky X freezing when frames were being downloaded from the ASI 2600 MM Duo using the X2 Plug In and the native ZWO Drivers, all freshly installed from the ZWO website.

This morning, I tried again using CCDSoft to Calibrate, Register and Stack the 30x60 sec exposures, with the Stack Mode set to Maximum and Voilą – there she was.

Tak Mewlon 210 F11.5
Tak x0.8 Reducer/Flattener
ASI 2600 MM Duo

A Plate Solve calculated the imaging system to be F/10 at 2100mm.
Pixel scale: 0.742 arcsec/pixel
