Well,

Cloud pennance came to an end recently and I got a few hours of first light for the newly modded 300D (thanks to Andy Ellis).

I chose ngc281 as the first test, wasn't really expecting to get too much...

This is a stack of 5 off 120 second + 5 off 180 second + 3 off 240 second subs, taken through the WO Megrez 80II, unguided, calibrated with dark frames and put together with DeepSkyStacker. Post processing in Photoshop with a tweek or two using Noels actions.

I'm really chuffed with this, just need some more clear nights now to have a go at something else.
