Really? Cool! Thanks raymo :-)

Details are:

31x30s @ ISO4000
1x30s @ ISO6400 (it was there, why waste it? :p)
Skywatcher ED80
Celestron CG5GT
Nikon D5100 (unmodded)

I really wish my intervalometer was here so I could start doing longer exposures at lower ISO.

Thanks pat! :-) It was actually fairly well centered in the original images. This is cropped to about half the original resolution, and when doing so, the old terrestrial photographer in me came out chanting "rule of thirds, rule of thirds!", thus the placement in the image above.
