I've got a friend who does a bit of astrophotography in NZ on his 12" tracking Skywatcher dob and a Canon DSLR. His results are pretty darn good. I think his exposures are usually around 30 seconds to avoid field rotation. PM me and I can put you touch - he doesn't post here as far as I'm aware.

Cheers,
Cam
