Thanks to dugnsuz's inspiring work i've also joined the Canon 400L and more club.
Here is my rendition of Eta, there was no way i was going to try M42 after Doug's fantastic shot, it would be such a poor comparison.

Details...
Canon 500D DSLR unmodded
Canon 400mm f5.6L Lens at f5.6, iso 400
Total exposure time: 22x3 (66) mins with 5x3 min darks
No light pollution filter used, need one as was taken in suburbiania
Raws loaded into CS4 saved as tiffs then aligned and stacked in ImagesPlus DDp applied then some curves and levels in CS4.

These lenses are just wonderful to use! Keep taking photo's Doug i love to look at them.
