First M42

Here we go, this is the very first image taken with my Canon 20d, through my new scope (SW 120 f5 refractor).
28 x 10 second subs at ISO 1600, stacked in DSS, with lots of careful tweaking in Paint Shop Pro to try to make the most of the poor data.
Can't wait till I get the tracking sorted so I can go for longer than 10secs.
The CA is atrocious, but hey, you get that with short tube achro's.
