I think my current longest is NGC 2070 which is also one of my first serious images a telescope and camera ago So indecisive as to what I want to put my effort into. Currently trying to decide between NGC 300 and the Fornax Galaxy Cluster region at Snake Valley.

NGC 300 certainly isn't bright though.

900s is the longest I have managed so far with the DDM60, was getting an aspect of 20 though as opposed to 4-8 at 300s. Theoretically it means that I am dealing with a non repeatable error like hysteresis or a slow moving focuser slop. In saying that, it still ain't any worse than achieved with the EQ6 at the same time except that it is consistent! No random 130 aspects
