Thanks Phil and Ledge, I appreciate your comments. 
You can put the bad weather down to my new MX+ Mount....sorry folks.
@Phil -I was set up to chase Quasars (Red Shift between 4 and 6) in Sag and later Grus from the list in ST4 (fell asleep) and when I saw your post I slewed over to 2022 NR and grabbed some opportunistic shots.
Tracking on the stars did not readily show the trail, not enough photons were registering in one spot although Tycho Tracker might pull something out?
The MX+ can track on NEO's but you have to use the SW Suite that ships with the mount, so I had to copy/paste from ST4 to the mount SW, so I'll have to dig into the FITs Headers to see what positional data I managed to record.
30 secs Tracking on the NEO did not reveal anything at the time, but 60 secs did, although I guess if I had grabbed enough 30 sec shots and teased the data out I may have got 2022 NR in that data set?
Sigh...too much data...too little time.
Cheers
Dennis
