The camera is an ASI2600MC,
I know a trend is to reduce the number of stars but to me it just reinforces the size and majesty of space.
Swapped out the image, this is better but a lot is lost in translation.

Reducing the stars is just an artistic expression, I guess. We're either artists or documenters or scientists. Choose your poison and shoot accordingly
Nice image. How are you finding the camera? I'm tossing up between it and the QHY version.
5 second subs definitely seems short with this target. I've shot it at 3-4mins on the same mount, so definitely get back out and extend those exposure times
Your mount can handle it.
