Autoguiding works! A bit of a learning curve ironing out the set up and drift alignment. But, once that was done, imaging greatly improved! M31 was my first DSO that I imaged, so I had to give it another go with the autoguider.

 

 

 

Setup:
Celestron 6" Newtonian
Celestron Advanced VX mount
Canon T2i

Orion Magnificent Mini AutoGuider

Backyard EOS

DSS

 

Images:
Light - 29 x 240" ISO800
Dark - 10 x 240" ISO800
Flat - 10
Bias - 10

 

**For the people like me who were curious about the guided images they could get with the AVX mount, I did several one off tests with different subjects at 10 minutes each. They were all perfect!**

Nice image. A very solid first guiding attempt

Perhaps a bit more Saturation. Overall an impressive M31.
