Single sub club - early morning clusters

While I have some big projects on the go, thought I'd also like some instant gratification with single frame subs.

Lots of pretty clusters near the big bow wow (Canis Major). Was lazy and used Stellarium to look up potential targets and goto to find them. In camera dark frame subtraction was used and simple levels in photoshop to balance the background. No stacking, no guiding, no hassle singe subs. All with the ED100, Orion focal reducer, Pentax K-5.

M41, ISO3200 97 seconds.
M50 ISO3200 89 seconds.
NGC2360 ISO3200 60 seconds.
M47 ISO3200 60 seconds.

And Comet C/2013 V5 Oukaimeden 2 minutes at ISO 1600.
