Milky way thru UHCS filter

Hi all
After imaging thru the 10 inch for hours I was tired and ready to pack up, but the milky way was right overhead looking beautiful, I couldnt waste it so I piggybacked my modded 350D on the scope, screwed the UHCS and UV/IR filter together and sat them on the 50mm lens, took test shots to focus then stopped lens down to F4 for sharpness then took 2x 5 mins ISO 400 with in camena n/r on. I accidentally shot as Jpeg too Will try again as raw next time. The filters bring out the nebulae.

Thanks everyone
Yes I was really happy how it turned out. Accurate focus is the go, doing short test shots at F1.8 till I get smallest possible stars then stop down to F4.
