Round stars is a great start 👍🏼 my first was a crappy 40 sec sub with star tails, all it did was give me the AP bug more.
I've done the same Ryan, left the mask on and wondered why I couldn't see many stars until I zoomed and and realised lol
Have a look around and see what free software is good for the ZWO cameras. I think astrophotography tool ( APT ) and Sharpcap will handle it, both are free to use. APT can control your heq5 too. I could keep going lol
Keep at is all I can say. As Carl said welcome to sleepless nights.
Cheers
Karl
