Taken on the night of November 27, 2005. Ten exposures of 55 seconds each at ISO 1600. No noise reduction, but I did use Registax for stacking. Just a bit of processing with brightness and contrast adjustment using Microsoft Picture It 9. Images were acquired automatically using a computer, DSLRFocus software (by Chris Venter) and DSUSB shutter control (by Shoestring Astronomy) to work the camera. I am using short exposures for now to get around tracking errors, rather than long exposures with autoguiding....so far it seems to be doing pretty good. Focusing is now being done with a Stilleto focuser by Stellar Technologies Inc. (I am still getting used to this handy device...although I do not check the focus as often as I perhaps should. I am using the Rhonchi screen.)
