widefields with Sky Tracker

Got to try out my sky tracker over the camping holiday in the bush.
Orion was through a 50mm f1.8 approx 15 subs of 30 secs 800 ISO
Satellite through Pleiades was a single shot of 25 secs 1600 ISO
Southern end of Milky Way was 8 subs of 30 secs 800 ISO
All through a Baader ACF filter modified Canon 40D.
Images were stacked with DSS and finished off using PS (levels, hue/sat, colours etc).
Thanks for looking.
Bo

Thanks Jo,
It was literally the second time I tried out the sky tracker and I was very impressed with it. I am still trying to get good polar alignment and then can try for longer subs.
Cheers,
Bo
