A lot of colour and a lot going on in that part of the sky. Such a contrast to the jewel like micro M31 with short exposures. The tracker must work well.

Yes it is a beautiful area of the sky, and yes, the tracker does work well; how
well depends of course on how well it is polar aligned. This image was
20x 30secs. @ ISO 1600. I think it is still the world's smallest tracker, the unit
is about 80mm x 40mm x 35mm, and about 580gr in weight.

Nice work, love the colors. Never ceases to amaze me just how many stars are out there - I love pics like this that are absolutely saturated with them.
