Orion and Tarantula

Got the autoguiding going after problems the previous night. First night of imaging in three months due to bad weather. Shot Orion and Tarantula Nebs.

Orion 10x3min subs, 3x30s subs
C8 SCT f/6.3
ISO 800
Canon 40D

Sorry about the saturated stars. I like the wispyness of the neb though.

Tarantula 20x3min subs
C8 SCT f/6.3
ISO 800
Canon 40D

Can't get enough exposure from where I am.

Had a go at the Sculptor Galaxy also, but can't get enough exposure.

Just like posting something.
