Smile First go at M!6 and 6" newt

Hi all again at IIS!!...
Well its been a pretty exciting week for me with the CWAS astrofest but having a clear sky the day after, who could resist setting up and doing some imaging!!!
Seeing was not bad so done some imaging with the newt!!!
Freezing cold like everywhere with a frost on the ground by 9.30pm and my observatory deck had a nice coating of ice as well!! Just the way my canon 300d likes it!!!
Thought I have a go at the eagle. I am quiet pleased in the final image although after pushing it there was still a bit of noise to remove!!
Some of the stars seem a bit of a odd shape due to my guiding and seeing but.

Details: 14 x 4 nin iso 800, DF removed and processed in PS. Done a slight deconvolution with Pixelinsight with the tourus wavelet but couldn`t push it much due to the noise!!!
Anyways its no Richardo but its not bad for a DSLR?
All comments about my processing etc most welcome!!
Image about 300ks in size..
