...ok, done with an almost wide angled 1140mm FL and just a few 10min exposures :

and just to prove the point - even closer:

Not just FL that counts but good quality unobstructed optics with a mono chip cam help too long live the refractor

Incidentally, this data was taken with Eta still pretty low (< 40deg) in the sky early last year, must try again this year when it is nearer the meridian and hopefully in good seeing
