First attempt at Witches Head IC2118

This is my first post in this section as I wanted to gain some insight into how to improve from this point.
Whist on a weekend at Wiruna, my modded 300D failed to start so I was looking for a target that didn't need the HA response that most of the subjects in Orion need. I have long wanted to try the Witches head but figured it was too dim for my gear and experience. Anyway, I slewed over and took a 10 minute test shot. Wow I could actually see the outline of her ugly dial! OK then I took 12 x 10 minutes and hoped for the best. 7 darks were used also but no flats - When I started the darks the scope was parked and I went to bed.
This is the first real outing since getting my new mount (AZEQ6) and am very happy with its tracking ability.
Cheers,
Bruce.
