It's brilliant Mark, especially in high resolution mode - the resolution and detail just jumps out at you.

Amazing ! Even more amazing how large M81 is when that amount of data reveals the extremities of the spiral arms like that. They are getting on for half way to M82!

These are my favourite galaxy pair and you have aced it here mate. Well done.

The full res version is superb. The IFN is really well captured. These RC scopes look the business - Not too much by the way of diffraction spikes either, which I cannot stand.
