Red face More Hobart Clear skies!

Saturday was very clear and I tried out my GSO 10" reflector on the now working again Eq 6, balanced by Big W gym weights!
These are all short subs as my alignment is not perfect yet, plus I haven't got to guiding either. Canon 1000D unmodified DSLR. Stacks of total 3-4 minutes (10 sec lights) with dark calibration in DeepSkyStacker, processed in StarTools
I think my collimation is a tad off as well, but this is my first ever Newt and it's an f4 so the learning curve is pretty steep. I love the diffraction spikes in reflectors, really adds something to star pictures.
Comments welcome.
