Yeah!

Just 30 stacked subs (ISO 1250 / 20", 6 each darks, flats and bias), straight out of DSS with absolutely NO processing other to convert it to .png format. Vixen VC200L with f/6.3 focal reducer, unmodified Canon 5DMkII, no cooling (the CMOS temp was running between 28° and a whopping 38°!!!). Canon internal noise reduction on. NIL guiding - just did the best polar alignment ever (and found a VERY simple and quick way). All shots controlled by APT (and focused with APT on-screen - GREAT tool, well worth the $17)

I am VERY happy! Now to process it some to bring it out to it's best.
