Omega Centauri with new mount

Well it cleared a week after i bought the mount and i finally got to try polar alignment for the very first time.
I still only have my 17 year old canon 300d, so i stuck it on my SW.80ED and shot a dozen 2 minute subs at iso 800
Stacked them in DSS and tweeked the result a bit.
The 300d is a nightmare to focus as it only has the small, dim viewfinder.
But i was fairly happy just to get anything.
I am a little hesitant to post as, even though this is the beginner section, all the images here are stunning.
Any critique, tips or the like are very much appreciated ( i know a new camera would vastly help )
Cheers
