Thanks Ahmed. The 2 smaller galaxies are pretty easy to pick up.

This is a massive telescope that weighs just under the weight limit, and with all that added gear? You're probably over it, yet here we have an absolutely blindingly good image. Absolute precision.
Well done!
edit, I was looking at the wrong scope.. Your one is actually over the NEQ6 weight limit! Wow... mind blown.

Well it's probably 26kg or more with guidescope on top. The mount is modified - belt, bearings and zero backlash. It does track very smoothly, which is what I wanted for planets. However it doesn't handle wind at all. The observatory shields it a bit with northerlies but south winds are bad. I know it's mad doing imaging with a 12" on an EQ6, but there's now way I can afford an EQ8, so it's this or nothing.
