Nobody has posted an image in a couple days so I figured I might as well. This is M81 with a burnt out core, shot thru a Tak TOA-150 at F/5.8 with a ST10xme. It is 60mins. Lum binned 1x, RGB 10min ea. binned 2x. I was kind of rushed with the big ol' moon coming up but it was some practice anyway. Thanks ,Tom

Hi Tom,

That's a nice start! Remember to try DDP on your luminance so the core isn't burnt out. I understand the rush to image. I'm a bit miffed myself, as we're having some clear skies in our neck of the woods, but the Moon's up and there aren't many narrow-band targets this time of year sad
