Hi Guys,

After my M-51, this is my M-101 with the color version taken on 3 nights with 545 minutes of exposure (without the color exposures).

It is the first time I used my ST-10XME and my Meade 12" UHTC OTA at f/10 (3048mm).

I used the SBIG AO-7 to have a perfect guiding. For the color pictures the AO-7 has worked at 0.1Hz (an exposure of 8sec. for the CCD tracking). The PPEC of my Losmandy HGM TITAN mount was also disabled.
Even with 8 sec the selguiding was perfect.

The third night the seeing was horrible :S
