Beautiful shot!

This seems technically quite challenging what with the difficulty of reaching polaris with an EQ mount and all. Did you have to make sure you have no cone error at all to remove the field rotation that would ruin the shot otherwise?

I'd have waited for a clearer night myself.. 🤣

No, but seriously, that's insane. I'm now going to have to look up that cluster center right. Looks like a loose globular at that scale?

 

Edit: ah yes, NGC188. Never looked for it but has an interesting story:
