Good on you for having a second go at a deep sky object. Taking on targets like this is a real challenge using a mount like the Starseeker. What ISO did you use for your 10 second exposures? Unless you had it set under 400, I would have expected a brighter result after stacking 234 subs. If not, then there is more detail there to reveal and your processing has compressed the data, try stretching it to see if more detail can be extracted. You could also try exposures longer than 10 secs, perhaps up to 30 seconds and see how well Deep Sky Stacker handles the Field Rotation during registration and stacking. It's all a learning curve when you're starting out in this hobby, so trial and error is the best way to learn.
