M81, M82 and companion 3077? with apologies

[lensman57]

Hi,

This is first half successful guided capture that I have managed. I do apologise for the poor quality as I really have very little experience in processing these data sets. I took 40 but processed 39 subs of 300s, with darks, flats and bias with a modded Canon 1000d at 800 asa, an 80 mm scope at f5.6 guided with a 50mm and Asi 120 as guide camera, Phd and Gpusb on Eq5 Pro.

I still have problem with horrible gradients and strange star shapes even though I used a Bahtinov mask and focused on Arctarus. The Phd graph for all intents and purposes was pretty well behaved only with a couple of spikes throughout the session. Any comments and help are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

A.G
