Hi all. I tried to image M101 last night from my extremely light polluted back yard here in Orem. It turned out OK, but I had to do lots more processing than I would have liked, just to get rid of the gradient. Oh well... I'll take whatever imaging time I can get. Here is the image. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
