Yep, I am still practicing wide field images. Here is M95, M96, and M105. Image and exposure / processing details are here:

I have provided several resolution scales including a full resolution version. I am also using my small travel set up rather than the G11. (It was engaged in another image that evening.)

Scope - Zenithstar 66 mm APO with WO FFIII at f/4.6
Camera - Canon 350D with Baader ACF mod - ISO 800
Mount - Celestron CG5 GOTO
Guiding - 180 mm FL, Vesta 690, K3CCDTools

Jim, nice wide-field shot. Lots of interesting targets in that FOV.

Pretty nice detail for that smallish refractor.
Well done.
