We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

Polar mounting? I polar aligned it! Oh i know what you mean! As in its not in Alt-Az Mode? I'm not sure how it works yet but ill read the manual! I also have a wedge so once i have everything right i will be able to get longer exposure, better alignment and in equatorial only one motor will be needed so even tracking! Once ive read up on it and i have a clear night ill give it a go and post the results(maybe 
)!
Yup the EXACT same stuff! Yes i think iso 1600 is too high! but anything lower and no nebulosity as you said! Anyone know a way around this?
Another question: i took many pics of the nebula at different exposures! whats the best software to line them up?(free software :roll: ) I have seen the results of this and was amazed by the results!
Its crazy the amount of new posts in Astrophotography today isnt it!
Thanks guys!

True enough, and once the tracking errorsare gone, you'll be sorted.
