My first deep sky images, the Andromeda galaxy and the North America Nebula.

I finally got everything together a few nights ago, I had intended to do 2 hours of subs but the clouds rolled in so I only took 30 minutes. For some reason I couldn't quite sort out guiding so I left the exposures at 60 seconds, I'll check the focus of the guide camera later.
The processing was very basic, I opened APP for the first time and muddled my way through it, did a bit more in DXO Photolab3 and Topaz. I really need to learn processing!
Target: Andromeda Galaxy
WO Z61 with FF, EQ5 mount, ZWO EAF, ZWO Asiair Pro, ASI533mc pro.
30 x 60sec subs, lights only no calibration frames, no guiding.

The North America nebula NGC7000, last Friday.
Managed to get 50 minutes of imaging before the clouds rolled in.
Went a little further with APP but still a lot more to learn. I was going to try guiding but my guide camera slipped out the guidescope!
50x60secs, lights only, no calibration files, unguided.
ASI533mc pro
WO Z61

Thanks for the kind comments. I had thought that taking the images would be the hard part, setting up the gear and managing the imaging software etc. but that's nothing compared with learning the image processing software.
