SBIG ST8300C - First Light

Hi
Been a while since I've posted anything (or done any imaging for that matter) due to work pressures. Anyway my new SBIG 8300C arrived last week and I managed to get out last night for a few hours.

Heres the first image (yes its Eta). 3x5min at -15c through the ED80 (scale is reduced but I'll put the full size up on www.dancalleja.com ).

I love the camera; easy to use, precise cooling, high sensitivity, low noise and simple dark management .

Processing was a quick one so any critique is welcome.

I note some vignetting - do I need a flattener - and what are people using on these 80mm scopes?
