A quick spin with the 10" eq dob

Finally made some adapter plates to fit tube rings to my new 10" skywatcher dob and mounted it to my old cave portable eq pier mount. I left the dob mounts on so I can still use it as a dob. It only has a RA drive so sub exposures were limited to between 20 and 30 seconds. All these pics were taken with an unmoded 1100d canon at 3200 iso with a total stacked exposure time of no more than 2 minutes.

M83, M8, M20, M17, NGC 5139 and NGC 5128
