Here's a shot of M42 taken with the Meade DSI last week sometime. Quite impressed with the little DSI so far. One of my best.

18 x 17.1 seconds exposure stacked in Registax. Photoshop CS to bring out the details. :)

very very nice, I am very impressed with this DSI, I know how hard you have had to work on your polar alignment and it really shows how well you have got it going at the moment.

Again I would recommend Iris to have a crack at your dso's (http://www.astrosurf.org/buil/us/iris/iris.htm)

nice detailed image, I think the DSI will be great for imaging small planetary nebulas too.
