1st deep space pics

A few weeks ago i got a few new toys, namely a 10" LX200R, a 3.3FR, and a DSI PRO camera. I've done some planetary/solar imaging before with my ETX90 (I'm still cursing that small sunspot I thought was mercury ) but I've never tried deep space.

Most of these images are just getting to know my way around my new equipment, but I think I have some potential All images are alt/az and unguided (got some mounting rings / counterweight system on the way so I can stick my etx there for now). I also forgot to take some flats so I had to use photoshop magic wand took to remove dust motes

*Saturn nebula (1st target I shot at F10 making sure my DSI worked). Couldn't image the 'ears' without saturating the central nebula.

*M79 (using 3.3FR)

*NGC1535 (using F3.3 FR, 150% enlarged in photoshop)
