Hello:
Here's an image of the central part of M101, recently taken with a 1k x 1k CCD at f/2.3. The image is a stack of 5 one minute exposures. Since we don't have a coma corrector for this camera, you can see a bit of coma near the edges of the field. Who am I kidding, there's enough coma to frighten small children! Anyway, since we see so many images here with pin point stars corner to corner, I though y'all might get a kick out of something a bit different.
Cheers
