Omegon Minitrack Lx2?

[Popc0rn22]

Hey guys, I want to know... Is it possible to shoot any galaxies other than Andromeda and Triangulum on the Minitrack Lx2? Also, can it support my current canon EOS Rebel SL3 and 75-300mm lens? I mean both the lens and camera weigh less than half of the trackers max cap. Anyway, would it be possible for shooting galaxies? I preferably want to shot Bode's and Cigar galaxy, and M51. Or just Nebulae?

I have one and only ever images andromeda but wanted to try bodes galaxy but never visable in my spot because of houses, the only thing to say is give it a go and see what results you get. I've imaged some nebulae with my Canon 450d

Now, quick question.. you know how some images have a noiseless background and stuff can this be achieved with the minitrack?

Are they less noisy because of lower exposure time and iso. I take from 30-1min or more exposures with mine, depending on the focal length of the lens and take a series of darks flats and bias, to help with reducing the noise in post processing.
