D800 first light in Saggitarius.

Here's a single 5 minute exposure@ iso1000 through a D800, no long exposure noise reduction. No processing or dark subtraction, NEF file converted using ViewNX2, and the jpgs resized by MS outlook. Scope was an FSQ106ED - polar alignment using the G11's PAS in less than a minute. The Trifid pic is a crop of the main one - no processing either.
Autoguiding by GPusb, with a DMK41 and an Orion ST80.
Dew was an issue, with the fog rolling in at 3:00am.
I think the camera shows some promise.
