NGC300 with a DSLR 14.3 hrs

A few here have been posting recent images of NGC300, so i decided to join in the fray. This isn't as detailed as those images, but we're talking different equipment too. This was taken with a 130mm f5 newtonian and a modded Canon 1000D, on a HEQ5. Guiding with a QHY5LII and a Rubinar 500mm f8 mirror lens.

Capture details (all ISO1600)
177 x 4mins
51 x 3mins

Hi Res: http://www.astrobin.com/full/59651/B/?
Processed with Pixinsight 1.8

Both this image and my recent M42 have some slight elongation from Dec backlash which I need to chase down at some point. Apart from that this new 'baby' setup is working nicely for me and I'm quite happy with the result here. Nonetheless, comments and critique are still most welcome.
