Thanks all
I wasnt sure how good the seeing wound turn out to be till I put on the camera, thought Id use the 600D as it has an 18 MP sensor. The nebula is so bright I could see it on Live View, and there was a star in the frame I could get perfect live view focus on Live focusing is so much easier. The guide star shimmered only slightly and very slowly. Moisture and dew was everywhere. I looked north and could see the infamous dog track throwing great pillars of light skywards, no wonder Houghy doesnt like it.
It was great seeing the first sub look sharp and clear. I just wish the 600D was modded

Its sensor is so much better then the 300D, not just the higher res but no hot pixels, it is a few generations ahead of the 350D
