Vixen first light

First light for the Vixen VC200L. 12 minutes total of 30 images, with 3 darks and 3 bias. Haven't added flats yet. NO guiding, ISO 1250. Unmodified Canon 5D MkII. 20" exposures. First attempt using H-alpha filter as well - you can JUST see the red fringe. Fitted with f/6.3 reducer.

Slightly out of focus, and a bit of collimating to do, but getting a LOT better. This was taken last night, with the moon high and bright, in town. Haven't edited much - if someone wants to have a go and say what they used and which process
