The dust near Polaris is interesting, but quite faint) 3 hours is a bit too little, but overall I wanted to test the 135mm Samyang and realized that at f2 the stars at the edges are distorted, so I won't push the total integration further, maybe I'll reshoot at f2.8

If there are more aligned stars in the stack, they should also align in the overall sum. As a last resort, you can stack good stars separately and add them to the nebula. So I would just add to this.

Once I shoot it, we'll "wait and see" :) Overall, the object is very interesting and rare to capture.
