first light RC 10-yes it's good old M83 (again)

This is really first light with RC 10 and stock focuser + unmodded Canon 1000D.
I had several technical issues that I won't bore you you with but suffice to say I got two hours out of about five with images being taken.
I actually set it up for the SXVR H9C camera but started on M104 and the image scale was great but so were the focusing issues!
Found it easier with a big DSLR chip till I get my focuser upgraded.
Any way here is just over 2 hours of iso 800 x 5 min subs from the new CF RC 10 big bazooka!
First image DSS and STartooled then iPhoto, second same but converted to B & W.
Cheers all!
Graham
