First proper go of doing an automated imaging run using APT and Canon DSLR attached to recently replaced 80ED atop a NEQ6, unguided.

15 x 1 minute ISO1600 subs stacked in DSS then edited in Photoshop. Should have done some longer subs for the nebulosity.

There is definitely some nebulosity going on there. I think its a nice capture.
