The shooting was difficult, well 150/750 is just a giant for a small EQ-3. There were also strong problems with drift, inaccuracy of the RA axis drive, and of course the strong gusty wind which greatly interfered with normal shooting, but in general I now roughly understand the exposure limit I can achieve with the telescope.
The hardest part was aligning the polar axis as accurately as possible; almost an hour was spent just to get rid of the star trailing in the image a little bit.
Next time I will spend more time aligning the polar axis to achieve an exposure of at least half an hour.
