Charles Hakes recently started a thread asking for comparisons of images of M51 with amateur equipment with a scaled down Hubble image. This comparison motivated me to look again at a few raw images of small faint galaxies I took a while ago. I took a few shots of Arp 81 with my C14 and an ST10 camera just to see how these faint fuzzies would look like (binned 3x3, 5x1min exposure). Well, after a lot of processing and noise reduction and catalogue review (PS, NeatImage, USNO B1.0) here is the result. Not Hubble of course.....and no color
