Thanks for the positive comments. I was quite happy with what I got, especially during a 75% full moon.
Michael, that is a great tipto sus out the polar alignment accuracy and Grant, I do use the CGEM polar align feature to start with, and it is very good for observing or planetary imaging, but for long exposure is still a bit off, so even a 90-120 second exposure has star trails. So I'll align using the mount alignment then normally I'd do a bit of drift alignment (or attempt to) and its still a hit and miss ordeal for me, but the polar scope seems to have taken a lot of the guess work out and was a lot quicker. I still got stretched starts on average about 1 out of 3 and thats using off axis guiding using the NexGuide. Next time I'll try out the periodic error correction.
Dennis you know how it is, you reach for the sky, end up imaging a galaxy, hence the M83, but on the way back we're a bit closer and spend a bit of time at the Trifid Nebula, then stop by Saturn.
