This one is 9 x 180 sec exposures at iso 1600, unmodded canon 1100d, 10" f4.8 newt. guided on a Heq5 pro. For 27min I did manage to pick up a bit, but it needs a lot more subs, lower iso and cooler sensor.
Rick, nicely framed and good result with an unmodded camera. I'm amazed you were able to track so well with a 10inch scope on an Heq5 pro. You must have had it very well balanced, it would be pushing the payload capacity for that mount. Great effort.
