M42 & Ngc3372

I took these images last night with an unmodified 350d from my backyard.

Image was taken using an C8 SCT. Autoguided using PHD and an 80mm achro + webcam. I used a 1.25" UHC-S filter to reduce light pollution. It certainly works but I tend to get a lot of vignetting around the edges with the 1.25" adaptor. (Thinking of buying a 2" LPR filter, but not sure which one...)

M42 - 17 x 2min subs and then stacked in DSS. Post processing in PS.

NGC3372 - 10 x 2min subs and then stacked in DSS. Post processing in PS.

Any comments or advice is welcome.
