M42 from last night

Last night I set up for another longer exposure RGB attempt at M42 with the DSI. Unfortunately the clouds did not cooperate so I only managed to get the Red and Blue channels. I spent a bit of time drift aligning this time but didn't get it perfect. Here's the red channel 40x15sec exposures.

I also had my first attempt at a piggyback shot of M42 with the 400D. 1x30sec ISO800. Focus was pretty quick and dirty and some star trails. I don't have a remote so this was shot using the 10 sec self timer but quite satisfying for a first try.

Comments/help welcomed.
