2nd attempt at DSO's

Only my second attempt at AP using the following rig -

Bintel 150mm F6 Reflector OTA FL 900mm
HEQ5 mount
Canon 600D standard
Prime focus
Roughly polar aligned using drift and then 2 star alignment
No Filters
No auto guiding
No stacking or processing
Just Jpegs from Camera

Orion Nebula
Location - Sydney
9.50pm
Seeing Conditions - average to poor
ISO 3200 @ 5sec

Eta Carinae Nebula
Location - South Coast NSW
9.30pm
Seeing Conditions - good
ISO 3200 @ 20sec

Southern Pleiades
Location - South Coast NSW
11.30pm
Seeing Conditions - good
ISO 1600 @ 20sec

I'm going to spend some time with this simple basic set up to see what I can image out of this camera on good seeing nights without processing
