I know this has been done numerous times and my end result is no where near the last few posts on here but I managed this with the astrotrac since I do not have a permanent base/observatory to image from. It was cold and foggy and I was limited to only 30 second subs and 300mm FL but I think it turned out ok considering.

Not too sure of the best way to resize the files to upload them here but it is also on my flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/christianckr/15065775266/) (https://www.flickr.com/photos/christianckr/15065775266/)

Thanks for looking!

A fine image Christian.
If you resize the 1600x1066 image to 1024x682 and then apply a moderate compression you'll get it below the 200KB limit. 86% works.
