It turned out that the object can be photographed not only in July-August but also in August-September. The object is lower, but the sky is darker. Doubled the total integration time. Added 5 nights from August 30 to September 8. Exposures of 300s and 600s.

Hour angle is about 2 hours. So, in late August to early September, it's even better for imaging.

I checked the object's trajectory in Stellarium—at this altitude (15-18 degrees), it's only visible for a couple of hours, even less—roughly from 9 PM to 10:30 PM. By 11 PM, it's already down to 10 degrees. In short, not an easy target at 56° latitude. Respect.
