Try subs of several minutes plus some accurate calibration (darks/flats)

Time spent colimating the optics would also be well spent.

Stick with it and you should get some good results.
Agree with you 100% Peter. Was only using the ASI120MM too so wasn't expecting great results but was setting the mount up refining polar alignment when i saw this object was high enough. I think i will come back to it once i get a dedicated Astro camera and mire time. Thanks for the input
