Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I used a Celestron C8 SCT on a AVX Goto Equatorial mount with no guiding except for the tracking provided by the mount.
Photos were taken using a Canon 60D mount via prime focus with a F/6.3 focal reducer to give me a slightly wider and flatter field of view.

I used 'Astro Photography Tool' to capture the 40 light frames and 5 dark frames at 50 second exposure times at ISO1600.

I then stacked the subs using DeepSkyStaker and then processed the final image in Photoshop.

I hope the weather holds up too. I wanted to do some more imaging tonight but the wind picked up and ended my chances of getting usable subs.
