hello rod have you tried longer exposures? the mount should be easily able to do a minute unguided and see what they look like then....... much more detail will be had

Thanks Pat,

I'm finally getting confident with my polar alignment, now getting pretty close using Align Master, which is allowing longer exposures. I'm not using a guide scope and yet to attempt drift aligning. I'll try some frames out to around 60 secs and up the ISO to see if I get any trailing.
Still manual focusing using live-view,as my USB cable is not long enough to reach the laptop (need to get a 2 metre cable).
