Great effort considering unguided subs , magnitude 10 dim object , light polluted skies and a HEQ5 mount which has a recommended AP payload rating of only 8 to 9 kg
Your payload would be well over 9kg so you must be extremely well balanced and polar aligned
Well done !!!

My Bintel GSO 8” f5 newt with 60mm guide scope , ZWO guide camera , image camera Canon 600D , Baader coma corrector, finder, auto focuser, dew bands, all cables etc.... weighs in at 14.5 kg , and I use an EQ6-R mount
