first light with Skywatcher 254/1200

[astropintr]

Hallo guys!
Before one week I finished my modifications on Skywatcher 254/1200. Yesterday I took only one test picture for first light. For guiding I used only refractor 70/500. But with results I am very surprise!! Modification was very good!
exposure 1 x 5 min, ISO:800
processed: Adobe Photoshop,Noiseware Edition.
Photo was taken without flatfield and dark. Only processing in Photoshop!:scared:

Hallo guys!
There were too many modifications. First time for astrophoto I need better eyepiece lift for focus point to my camera Canon EOS 350. Before this modifications I was not able to take pictures with my telescope. Next modifications were upgrade to EQ - 6 Skyscan and autoguidering with PC (notebook).

Thanks all for your replies!
