Deep sky on an alt-az...

Folks...

I had some time to bolt my camera lens to my lx90 to use it as a tracking platform. Lens is a Canon 70-200 f4L. I have also attached a ZWO 224 to the back of that.

the results are the photos attached - all except eta carinae are at the 200mm end. Eta is at 70mm.

all are a stack of around 15-20 minutes worth of 10-15 second exposures,
with about 20 darks stacked in DSS. final adjustments done with curves in GIMP.

Do any kind folk have some constructive criticism as to how i can improve my results without spending money on more kit?
