8 noisy exposures at ISO 6400 @ 80seconds unguided. Will have a few more goes at this methinks as you can just start to see some structure in the galaxies. ED80/pentax K50. One of my favorite DSO's.

A good start John. Be aware these need a lot of time!

Thanks Kevin. Early next year I'll start thinking about upgrading the mount and adding some much needed auto guiding. Looking forward to being able to do multiple 5 - 10 minute exposures (without squinting into the illuminated eyepiece).
