Not a pretty image at all, but for lucky imaging under my conditions I consider this a huge win. 8" Newt

#

Only about 22 arc seconds long, which has beaten the eskimo nebula at 50" in diameter

You should try the Lemon Slice nebula (IC 3568), it's right next to Polaris. It's 21"

Spirograph is 18”, unfortunately all the detail in it is well beyond a typical scope.
