First attempt at posting a picture here so here goes. M51 taken in April 05
C11 Ultima fork mount @f/11.2
Hypered Tech Pan
Taurus Tracker
OM-1
60 minutes manually guided w/ Celestron Micro-Guide
Scanned by HP scanner at 600dpi from 8x10 - no digital manipulation
Location - 25 miles north of downtown Minneapolis MN

I don't know why the lower right of this scan isn't as uniform as the rest of the background. It's uniform in the orginal 8x10.

Sadly, I know the days of this type of photography (Tech Pan) are coming to an end.
