Finally got out last Friday and Saturday night. 
I discovered Friday night while setting up at our dark site that I lost my Canon T-ring at some point. Of course that was the better of the two nights :S (all most perfect!). I was able to borrow a couple eyepieces (thanks Augie) so the night wasn't a total loss.
So here are the results from the hazy Saturday night (after purchasing a new T-ring), shot through a cheap 2" diagonal (no extension tube with me!).
I tell ya, if it wasn't for bad luck that weekend I'd a had no luck at all! 8O
70 minutes of data, 3-1/3 minute subs, ISO 800
Un-modified Rebel (300D).
Losmandy G11 (non-GOTO)
Astro-Physics 140mm Prototype @ prime focus
Comments appreciated,
