The Running Man (~9hrs with RC8 and modded 30D)

I spent the last two weeks collecting Running Man data. Despite being summer, evening temps haven't been too bad, mostly below 20 degrees. Gully winds also haven't been as strong this year compared to the last couple of years.

Details
Imaged over 6 nights
Scope: GSO RC8 imaging at 1624mm
Mount: EQ6
Guide scope: 60mm f/11 tasco refractor
Guide camera: unmodded toucam
Guiding software: PhD
Imaging camera: Modded Canon 30D
Camera settings: 21 x 10min exposures @ ISO1600 and 69 x 5min exposures @ ISO1600 giving approximately 9hrs of data. It was the first time I have pushed subs out to 10mins using the scope. Most subs had round stars so was happy with that.
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3. I used a greyscale version of the RGB image as a synthetic luminance image.
