Lagoon & Eagle ... & plane

Got an unexpected clearish night here tonight and I have been playing around trying to get polar alignment tweaked. Took the big scope off the EQ6 and just put the 80mm F5 Achro on. Hooked the DSLR on the back and lined up on Lagoon & Trifid. Managed to get reasonable focus for a change and blasted away with about 30 x 1 minute exposures at ISO 800.
And here's the results ... with a bonus !
Also figured out I'm a smidgeon south of west in my alignment.
And title should be Lagoon and Trifid ... having a mental health night !!
