NGC7793: First light with plane wave CDK

This was first light for my 12.5" Plane Wave CDK telescope. I was impressed by the way the AP900 handled the beast--sub arc second guiding.
I am reasonably pleased with the way the galaxy turned out, but the background is a little suspect--probably because I didn't take flats. Still working on a method of taking dome flats. Lots of little background galaxies to see.

Anyway, here is a link to the image:
