The "Dark Doodad" and NGC 4372

Hello Everyone.

I managed to take this image at the ASV lmdss site in August.
I was interested to see how a unmodified DSLR camera could handle imaging a faint object like the "Dark Doodad". The lmdss site was perfect nice dark and stable skies.
Details
Pentax K-x
ISO 800
17 x 5 minute subs + master Dark and Flat.
ED80 telescope with the Focal reducer.
Guided using the OAG and the NEQ6pro.
Processed in DSS and PS CS3.
