I extracted the digit finally this afternoon and quickly processed the images I captured last Saturday night at Astroron's place. I hadn't expected to get anything really worthwhile that night as I was Christening the G11 and was basically giving it an autoguiding shakedown. Consequently I only captured in jpeg mode and didn't take any darks. I'm kicking myself now for not doing it properly. The mount tracked like a dream.
All processing is simply levels and curves.
All shots, bar one were taken through my Orion 80ED. The first two, M31 (single image) and the Tarantula are both unguided at ISO800 for 3 minutes. Andromeda is uncropped and unadjusted, while the Tarantula is a stack of nine image stacked and adjusted in PS. Not flash but I'm wrapped in the time I can go for without guiding.
The next is NGC253 stack of 14, ISO800 for 5min, autoguided with a ToUcam, K3CCDTools V2 and 8" SCT. Stacked and processed in PS
The next is Eta Carina, same as NGC253.
And the last is EC through my meade with the 6.3 FR at ISO800 for 5 min, autoguided as above.
And the last one is a single shot from the first round of ECs but I've put it in so a comparison can be made with Strikers EC from the other night. We were using identical scopes and ISOs and capture times I think. The only big difference were the cameras. My 300D up against his 20Da. For those you you who have forgotten here it is again

I don't know what processing he was using but the image looks very close to what came off his camera raw as I remember it.
Any way my images. Apart from the unprocessed M31 and EC all other shots have been cropped to one degree or another
