Lazy Boy Imaging System

Hi all
I've been trying to put together a simple imaging system for guests to the the observatory and think I'm nearly there.
I've got the 5" Borg Apo with flattener ( F5.4 ) on the Meade LXD55 mount and a modded Canon 300D .
It will take 3 min unguided exposures that look like the 30 min ones from the film days .
I have a TC-80N3 controler and addapter on the way so it won't need to be hooked up to the computer after focusing .
The pic was taken as a JPEG and just dark removal , still a couple of hot spots .
Should be nice for people who just want to get thier feet wet in imaging .
