Your stars always look great out of your M210 so whatever you're doing it's working well anyway

The 900 seconds unguided is quite an achievement.

Bravo!

Thanks M&T, it's still nothing like your 1 hour subs! That is an achievement unto its own
It really is one of those regions that just pops out in narrowband. Some HOO or SHO regions can look like bland but most renditions of this area do have a great look and feel to them.

Thanks Marcus, I could probably push it further than 900s but I've reached the point where my background regions are 10x read noise in OIII and about 8x in Ha.

I and Marcus Davies are wrapped with my average guide errors of +/- 0.2 arc sec with autoguiding ...but 900 sec unguided with such resulting sharpness, is, well, truly unbelievable mate, super duper...great stuff

Thanks Mike, I do completely agree with you Re #2. Processing was moving from PI into Lightroom where I did a colour balance change and moved some sliders. Then saved it and sent it to my iPhone where I used Lightroom on there to then move some sliders around again

FYI, I've done some pretty extreme deconvolution

The mount really does all the work, it is a bit fiddly to setup and it would be SO much nicer with a permanent one but that's for a future endeavour.
