Modified Canon 450D + CLS filter

SW Evostar ED80, guided

I had to stop after an hour as the POD dome got in the way. Hoping to add some more data as it's noisy. Also struggling with star bloat on the bigger stars. Tried a few methods of star reduction, but end up with a ring in or around the star, so I need to work on this. Tips/advice welcome.

Great result expecially with a SLR at this time of year.

More subs will be worthwhile.
