I think I'm finally getting to understand my star tracker a little bit I only manged to get 21 images to stack but pretty chuffed with the results.

Wow. That's excellent. What star tracker do you have? What lens and camera settings were you using?

I'm using a ZWO AM5 with an Asiair and a guide camera. For the imaging camera I'm using my A7RIVA with 300mm F2.8 and 1.4 teleconverter. 30 second exposures at ISO4000. I'm sure there's better settings but at the moment I get excited when I get the galaxy appear in the preview window I've then been faffing around getting guiding / tracking going leaving me not much time to actually do some imaging. I think I've got a workflow now which should allow me to get up and running quicker...
