Hi Frank,
for 2 combined images, this is quite good.
Guiding is definitely a hard one to nail... especially when hrdware/ conditions don't permit. Sometime things just come together.
The trouble with not much data though, is the tendency to over process things to get the most out of what's there/ not there. Sometimes this can lead to artifacts in an image.
Stars seem a little stark,(jimo) perhaps a little over done through bringing out other stuff in the galaxy core without masking.
The colours are very good really, in this image, there's the faint blue reflection that is generally noticeable in much longer exposures, so your definitely on the right track colour balance wise.
A great effort for only 2 subs for sure.
More exposures will only improve things.
Go for it ...
Thanks for sharing your efforts.
Cheers
Rich
