Thanks all. There's a lot to learn, most of which is patience at the moment, waiting for the clouds to go

Since I picked up my Star Adventurer, I've only had a few nights to practice. I've just really been trying to get the setup working, polar alignment sorted etc.
Last night I looked at a group of pics I took a the back of my garden last month, played around with them, and got this.
I'm new at astrophotography and honestly never thought I'd be able to get anything like this.(Fuji X-T30, 24 x 60s lights, ISO 800, 18-55mm lens @ 55mm, f5)

Thank you for the welcomes
I've just had a quick hour or so playing with the star adventurer before the clouds came in.Set everything up as I have read, did all of the tweaks, took some test shots and wondered why I was still getting quite serious trails (using a 200mm lens, at 2 minutes, just to see what happens).
Then I realised that I had done everything except turn it on.
I have a long road ahead of me...

HI all. Long time photographer and admirer of the night skies, so I thought it'd be a good idea to put them together (can't believe it's taken me this long to work that one out).
I tried a few pics just with my standard kit, liked what I saw, so have now picked up a star adventurer to see what happens.
Of course, since I bought the star adventurer, it's been cloudy every night...:)
First go trying for the North American Nebula

The clouds made a surprise disappearance last night, so I pointed my camera straight upwards and came up with this.
