Nice one, what are the details of the gear you used to take the image, exposure, etc?

Eos 1000D prime focus through a Skywatcher ED80, mounted on a a EQ6 Pro.
8 x 15 second exposures at iso 200.

Not bad Daz. With a good polar align you should be able to bag 60 sec exposures easy with a ED80, and push the ISO up to around 800 for the additional sensitivity.
