Spiral Galaxy NGC1566 first light SX694

I received a Starlight Express Trius 694 camera last week. I have been imaging with it when the weather allowed. I have 2 images so far. This is the 2nd but first released.

7 hours of 10 and 15 minute subexposures. I have imaged this galaxy before and I knew this is a pretty galaxy.

The top spiral arm swings around faintly on the left a long way. Its just noticeable in the image.

LRGB image, Starlight Express Trius at -20C, CDK17, PME, SBIG STi on a MMOAG.

I am about to hook the Trius up the .66 reducer which will give it a bit more field of view and also make it somewhere between F4.54 and F5.
