Almost 9 full hours!
In August, I had nights where I could only get about 1.5 hours of usable time
+ I also have a slow telescope with f/7
So it's quite possible to try and get a decent image over 3-4 nights
In one night, it's unlikely, the object is just too faint

I’d be very interested to see—would you be able to post an example single shot of M101 with and without the filter?
