So thanks to @RonC managed to balance the 200pds so using l enhance filter tried m51 bit windy and moon up initial result looked good guiding was atrocious but stars looked ok took hour and a half subs but tried stacking this morning and Dss can’t find enough stars, so will try again tonight if alls well , I need to tweak balance as calibration was initially taking 4 steps not good usually 14 steps so a few gremlins to iron out but looking promising as the stars looked ok to me .

Tweaked balance so camera heavy slightly and moved weight up bar to east heavy I think they call it

Damn those clouds managed by the skin of my teeth one star test as cloud rolled in so 5 sec on camis major  looks promising just need a better night and more stars on the outer edge to check star shapes but collimation looks good just coma to double check .
