NGC 300 first light for the observatory

This is first "remote" light for my system finally got the balls up to open the roof from Sydney and image. it is only 30 mins of lum, there are a few issues that need to be addressed so there was no point getting any more.
1) i have struggled to get good flats so i will have to take some with my light box when i am down next time. you can probably see a little gradient in the image. i want to build one into the observatory so i can take good flats any time.
2) this one will probably content for the dumbest thing i have done thread ... but i cant quite reach focus. i get the closest with the clear filter but i need to add a spacer so i can get into sharp focus.
3) i am yet to run PEC on my mount which should help the tracking but it was not bad for first attempt, also i could refine the PA a bit

anyway, feedback is welcome but be gentle on me, it has been a long hall to get here
