My first astro image again after stacking and a bit of processing in Gimp.
Taken with a Canon 1000D on an ED80. 8 x 5m images at ISO800, plus a couple shorter exposures to tame the core a bit.
Thanks to Chris85 for a few tips
I'm sure there is more that can be done with it to bring out some finer details but at the moment I'm stoked with the results.
