Thanks Michael, I know I can do better but clear cloudless nights are few and far between so I tend to push the iso a bit so as to get some result. The 10" is at max payload on the mount but seems to ride well, the only issue is wind but when it's clear here it also tends to be calm as well. I have the mount on a pier next to the shed, I wouldn't feel comfortable with that much weight on a tripod. I have found balancing the scope pretty easy to do and only need to tweak it a little for different areas of the sky.
