That's pretty cool.
I hope that you made two of those scopes and kept one for yourself.

Well that's about flat out insane results. Any specs on the data?

Here's a TEC200 version from my EOS DSLR

I don't even know what to say about that image... perhaps Jaw-Dropping is the correct response. WOW!

Here is the full frame image of M101. Unfortunately it is only 1/6 size because of size restrictions for posting on Astromart.

There is something peculiar going on in the upper left side of the frame.
