Finally got out and was able to recapture M101 (4 hours 20 min.) L=20min each, RGB 5minx4 each.
Wish the nights were longer. At least I was able to go deep enough to capture the arm extentions and some background galxies this time.

Great image Sam.
Excellent resolution into the core and dust lanes.
