Eta Carina Nebula - 120s at ISO 400 with a Canon 20d at prime focus of a Vixen VC200L on a Sphinx mount, guided with a Meade LPI using Peter Enzerink's ASCOM drivers and Guidemater v1.3.3, the imaging run was 16 shots, result is a stack of the best 9 processed in IP 2.75 (darks, flats and bias) plus digital development and a little boost for the red channel (camera is not modified).
The mount was only roughly polar aligned (carried and placed at same spot I always use) - no drift alignment was done and my mount has severe DEC backlash (10s approx!) and is due to go back to the shop to have this fixed. Guidemaster coped with all of this and kept the tracking good enough to show the small dust motes on my sensor, something I have not seen before!

Prime focus shot with 8" Celestron and Canon 350D DSLR at ISO400, mount HEQ5-Pro [guided at 0.5x] GPint // port adapter and modded webcam [quickcam pro 3000]. Guidescope 70x500mm with NO barlow also mount was only roughly polar aligned.
Only levels adjusted on single shots - no darks -no flats.
