I think your photos are great considering the very short exposures.
They are also sharp and well tracked.
What was the total exposure time for each shot?
I really like your LMC.

Thanks!
I love these Takumar lenses - however your Olympus def. seems to give them a run for their money -
My most recent purchase was a mint condition 200mm SMC Takumar - I have only managed to take two decent images with it so far:

and
http://182.160.128.150/Astro/SMC200mm.jpg
though i have managed to image some galaxies - Sculptor and NGC55
http://182.160.128.150/Astro/NGC55.jpg - Not turning out too great though.
Details for the images i originally linked:
LMC - 53 x 60s, ISO800, 11 dark, 18 flats
SMC - 58 x 60s, ISO800, 11 dark, 18 flats
Antares, i cannot find the details on, but i suspect a similar amount..
Also, - no tracking active tracking - Just the EQ3's clock motor. I'm at the point where PE in my mount throws off any drift aligning i attempt for images longer than 60 seconds exposure.
