Ok, this isn't very good, but it's the first astrophoto I ever took. In fact, it was taken through the first "real" telescope I've ever owned. This scope's first light was two days ago, where I wanted my first view to be Saturn. Saturn was behind the house. I noticed that Orion was within view, so I hit the GO TO to M42.
Five minutes after first light, I attached my Eos Rebel, and took three 25 second shots. Two of them were stacked for the image below. They are out of focus, and my collimation is off a bit because I didn't follow the directions when I installed my Bob's Knobs. But I'm proud of it.
