Thanks all for the great response... I must say I woke up today, had another look at those shots and simply can't believe i was able to obtain images like that with a mere 20mins of total exposure.. I can't wait to go deeper...

Fred & Gary, I'll give FocusMax a go, thanks for the tip,
Gary, The scope was C11 @ F/6.3 ~1756mm focal length, 2.31 arcsec:pixel
Dennis, I did my best to convey my excitement from the night.. everything from having the setup work from go to woah, right through to the extreme sensitivity of the camera...
Peter, Ho-Hum this experience was not. I can safely say I will be using SBIG cameras from now untill the day I croak if this is the kind of satisfaction they can bring... Self-guide convert for sure.. I'll be interested to see how it goes guiding through the 13nm Ha filter.. That will be the test.
Ken, Saving is right! Need CFW, Filters, AO-8 and off in the distant distant future, an STL-1001E

Thanks again for all the positive feedback guys.. Much appreciated.

Alex.
