Thanks Mike
I think I'm heading in the right direction. Still need to be more patient with focusing, and processing needs more practice. I won't be able to use as long exposures when I try and tackle something at longer focal lengths. Might also use a single ISO value next time and do more exposures?
Purchased a cheap German EQ mount last year and have the camera mounted directly on top. I find a couple of 5-10 minute exposures are all it takes to fine tune the polar alignment.
Cheers
