New lifer for me. Really like its hairstyle. Kind of looks like me when I wake up

Yeah. Had to push my ISO quite a bit to get that fast.

Any advice on how to get more color in?

Das macht meiner auch, ich hab aber keine Ahnung wo das herkommt. Meine erste Vermutung war, dass der Motor sich unabhängig und schneller ohne Widerstand vom Plastik-Lüfter dreht und dieser erst später packt und anfängt sich zu drehen. Hab es aber nicht weiter untersucht, weil es nach ein paar Sekunden verschwindet.
Das ist alles gar nicht meines

As you can see, there is a lot of noise, even with heavy editing and noise reduction in siril as well as in GIMP, and I'm out of ideas of what could cause it. I tried different exposures (from 10s to 30s), different ISOs (1600-6400). I tried to manually dither by moving the mount through the App every 30 minutes or so. I also used a lens dew heater at different temperatures ranging from 15°C to -5°C with no difference in noise.
I got a successful result a few months ago with the Orion nebula, the only differences were the exposure of 5 seconds and a Omegon Mount MiniTrack LX3 Essentials mount which couldn't be polar aligned very well. I can't imagine that the difference from 5 to 10 seconds exposure did all the difference.
Can anyone help me?

I recently took some pictures of Andromeda with a SA-GTI and a lumix g85 with the lumix 100-300mm, but the noise of the final image is really bad. Here is the first picture taken with a total of 2.5 hours (315*30s):
With this noise, I thought it was waking noise due to the almost perfect polar alignment. Since I don't have a dedicated computer and autoguider to dither, I just did it manually by moving the axis of the mount a bit to move the object on the sensor every half hour. For reference, the object stayed within the center cell of the grid of thirds, so I'd say I moved it a few hundred pixels every time in different directions. Here is the result (293*30s):
(Both pictures are processed in siril with green noise removed at the end) The noise stripes are smaller, but there is still a lot of noise in my opinion. It this due to the sort total exposure, or might it be walking noise? How can I reduce the noise without buying new equipment?

Here, I rearly see a Jay and have never seen a Cardinal. I wold love to see a Northern cardinal one day, but I'm grateful for the birds I have in my area. And I don't need to be far from the city to see more then pigeons. I saw a kingfisher the other day in a suburban part of my city where I never expected such a beauty. He literally flew through the residents gardens.
