Hi guys, a pretty good time out at Wallaroo, SA lastnight managed a few shots before being sidetracked by Pauls (Rumples Riot) 18" SDM LOL

Sorry about resolution had to cut them back quite a bit to make em fit.

Edit: Forgot to mention these were taken with Berts 80mm F5.7 Astrograph on EQ6 mount, unguided. Triffid/Lagoon is a sum of 5 exposures 1min 40sec each, dark frames applied. Eta Carina is a sum of 16 exposures with darks applied. Both images taken with a canon 400D unmoddified at 1600iso.

Wow! Nice! ;)
However, your trifid/ lagoon looks a little blue...
