My 'real' scope is still is being repaired so I tried to image with my smaller gear (when the sky also seemed exceptionally clear and transparent).

The modest Min-EQ mount performed surprisingly well and I was able to image both the asteroid and two of Virgo cluster's galaxies.
Not bad for such a small scope.
