Antennae with tails and the Triffid

Finally a clear night last night. It was VERY dewy though so used the electric blanket/dew heater on the 10 inch scope.

First object is the Antennae Galaxies
11x10 mins ISO 200. Larger version here

2nd is the Triffid nebula
7x10 mins ISO 200. Larger version here

Both images with Hutech modded 350D with clear glass over sensor, MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. No filters so as to allow infra red light through. I was curious to see what effect that would have on the Triffid neb, it seems to show a little of the faint dust in the background. Guiding isnt as good on the Triffid shot.
