there is 2 groups of stars. One at the bottom left and one at the top right. I need longer exposure to capture more data but I would need guiding to not get the star trails (my tracking mount can only do so much).

You could take multiple pictures and stack for more data and signal . Great start tho cause 30-sec shots are hard to get alot of data .

yes, I will do that next time. It wasn't possible that night has you might not see it but there was a lot of glow cause by the northern lights ( I am in BC). I managed to remove the glow through a painful editing process.

It's incredible what you can do with LR. here's a better version
