A nice image of the chicken, plenty of colour and well framed

It’s a fairly bright object at magnitude 4.2 so you could probably get away with 60 sec subs ( 1.5 to 2 hours worth ) at ISO 800 so it’s less demanding on your guiding
It’s amazing what you can pull out with 2 hours or more worth of 60 sec subs

Maybe give PHD2 a try , it’s been a proven performer for many many years on all types of rigs and is open sourced ( free ) It really just works !!! but like all guiding software it is governed by seeing conditions and the quality of your guide star. In 3 years of guiding with PHD2 I’ve never really had bad guiding with oval or eggy stars

Well done !

Cheers
Martin
