M101 with Artemis285 Camera

I've been out for a bit...You people have sure been posting many great images - congrats. I thought I would jump into the party again with a late season M101...

I took some exposures of M101 in late May and I have now processed them. The exposures were made with the Artemis285 Camera. I have attached a mid size thumbnail, but a full size image as well as exposure and processing details can be accessed at:

Scope was my C8 at f/4.4 and the camera is of course the Artemis285

Attached Image:

Very nice, Jim! It looks a little too magenta on my monitor, however. You might try tweaking the color a little bit.

What is this Artemis285 camera--I am not familiar with it.

Excellent focus and guiding, BTW.

Jeff,
Thanks for the comments and input on the color balance. I had actually rebalanced -8 on red and 8 on blue in the midtones from the original which I though was a little too yellow. I might try to play with it a little more.

The Artemis camera is a kit camera. You can get more info here:

That's amazing. I would expect a shot like that only from an Sbig or a Starlight Express camera.

Greg.
