I couldn't resist comparing my latest image of M51 with the new image from Hubble. It's my first try at autoguiding, and I can do much better, but it's still kind of fun to see how close things match up! wink

Would I get results like that on the right if I promise to throw my scope into the ocean sometime in the next five years?

Yeah, not a fair comparison. I believe the Hubble has a 16" LX200 on board. (Although your shot was quite terrific itself.)
