My Second Image M51

Here's my second image from my newly purchased ST8 from last night. Taken with the same setup as my M81 image, it has a little better stars and somewhat less noise, despite the high outside temps. The photo is made up of eight 1200 second images. My chip is ABG so I need a little more exposure to get the information collected. If you have any comments about my modest attempt please feel free to give them.

Great shot Jeff! 8)

Lots of detail, including other galaxies in the field... well done!

Hi Jeff,
Wow!That looks great 8O
Your processing is very nice and I don't see much noise at all on my moniter.

Nice!

Thanks for the nice comments.

Jeff,

If this is modest, I'm almost afraid to see what your "proud" attempts will look like! Great job!
