I took this M51 shot this week. It needs work but I am pretty happy with the initial results. It was taken with an ST2000XM camera (no darks or flats) and an 8" f/5.3 Newtonian on an EM200. I am still working out some bugs with the mount. smile

Lum = 60min 1x1
rgb = 20min each 2x2

Joe,
Very nice... What kind of newtonian are you using? There are a lot of galaxies in that picture.... Keep up the good work.

Wow Joe! That is a spectacular image. How long were the subs for the image?
Cheers,

Nice shot. Some day I would like to get some color filters. The color in you image makes it much easier to discern details.
