I bought a 10" Skywatcher Synscan dob with no intention of doing photography, but from my bortle 8+ skies the deepsky targets are pretty limited and the planets aren't up at "human hours" at the moment. So I thought I'd take a crack at some photos. First clear night also happened to be a full moon - lovely :-)

Camera is an Olympus E-P3 (10 year old micro 4/3) at prime focus.

Eta Carinae nebula (or a portion of it anyway) was 100x10s subs at ISO6400

Omega was 50x10s subs at ISO 6400

M42 was 50x10s subs at ISO6400 and 75x1s subs at ISO6400 to get some core definition.

50 darks, 50 flats, 100 bias, processed in Siril with a little touch up in Pixelmator after. Quite amazed at how they turned out to be honest, though hardly perfect... I would guess the main thing they all need is more exposures to get the noise down. I'll have to experiment a bit more to see if I can get longer subs and lower ISO also without too much field rotation creeping in.

Any other thoughts or feedback?
