Very good, maybe more data would help and also star reduction. There also seems to be a magenta caste to the background, easy to fix by inverting the image and removing green then re-invert.

Excellent image with good detail.

I think you've got the makings of a decent image. It looks as if you have darkened the background a little too much and clipped data from the black point.

Colours are bold but as with any nebula, colour is very much down to personal taste.

Super image Shivam.

Not seen that before, at a guess maybe your collimation is off.

Another great image Kinch. Well done.

Excellent image and well framed with the edge of Andromeda.

Excellent work Geoff.

Quite a vivid rendition, looks good.

I wouldn't bother, ASCOM is Windows. You need to look at Astroberry or INDI.

That's a very good start. Keep at it and it'll be great.

Excellent work, your guiding must have been spot on.

EKOS has a polar alignment routine, once you get close using the visual polar scope you would run the PA in EKOS and if careful can get within 5 arc seconds.

Initially EKOS will try to detect ports and connect automatically. Sometimes it doesn't and you can set the baud rate in the INDI control panel in the mount section.

In you equipment profile set mode to LOCAL, Mount to EQMOD, INDI HUB off.

Good place to start is YOUTUBE, plenty of set up vids there. Firstly though is getting your time and location setup right in the KSARS part.

Keep it as simple as possible, Use EKOS. The new multistar guiding looks like it has surpassed PHD2. You can also use PHD2 in EKOS.

Connect mount to MAC direct with standard USB cable, baud rate needs to me set to 115200.

I believe you might be able to control the Nikon in EKOS, Canons definitely.

Don't bother with ST4 at all.

KStars/EKOS will do everything, no real need for anything else. Works a treat for me and my MAC + AZEQ6

Lovely sharp detail.

Well done, some nice detail and colour you've captured.

Superb image.

Lovely field of stars with very nice colour.

Excellent work.

Get the Pegasus Ultimate PB, it will save a ton of messing and stray cables. If you're using Stellarmate or EKOS it will talk directly for complete control through the Pi as a server.

There's another thread about a couple of add on boards for a Pi that will give you power and dew.

Celestron make their own one, it's supposed to be very good.

Looks a lot better. You can always separate them again and reduce the chrominance.

Nicely done, can't help thinking that more subs might bring out the selection nebulosity a bit more on the left.

Thats great to hear @RadekK.

The Lakeside focuser either has RS-232 serial port UART interface or a USB interface? FTDI Interface... 

https://www.firstlightoptics.com/astronomy-cables-leads-accessories/lynx-astro-ftdi-usb-to-serial-adapter-for-original-lakeside-focuser-controllers.html

If it's a RS-232 serial port UART (looks like a standard 9-pin COM port), then you'd use a USB Serial Cable Adapter and use the Lakeside INDI driver that is as standard with the INDIlib package.

To replace thePegasus it would need to be a usb to DB9 custom wired or GPIO to DB9. 

What would be great if they could add a RJ45 just like the Pegasus for the focuser.

A great start, you've also picked up another galaxy to the far right.
