One of the best images of Polaris I've ever seen.

Anastasia, respect!
I've displayed the area around Polaris on screen many times for technical purposes, but I never suspected such beauty was hidden there!
I'll try it on outings; my balcony faces south.

Very cool!!! I've had my eye on that area for a long time, but there's always something more interesting in the sky that takes priority)))

Agreed! It's always so hard to decide what to shoot, even for wide-field targets, let alone objects for narrow-field imaging. I have so many things on my list to capture with a 135mm lens, and heaven help me if a good long-focal-length lens for astrophotography ever falls into my hands.
