Eta Carina and M42

Last night I got home early from my folks place and decided to do some imaging. The scope is currently setup in my little back yard and covered in tarps as I tend to take over an hour to get drift alignment done.

So I set up and took M42

2 x 2.30 mins
5x 3.00 mins

Stacked in registax 3
processed in Photoshop
filtered in Noiseware

Comments most welcome. I think that these shots are the sharpest and the tracking is near perfect. This will be my last M42 for this season as it is now hiding behind a big tree in my next door neighbours yard. Still all shots were unguided as my LPI does weird things when it is used as an autoguider, it goes off track within a minute and causes bad trailing. Any suggestions why this is happening?
