My First M51

[lensman57]

Hi

I did this on the 22nd, even though I took 23 subs of 300s each I stacked only 12 of them due to poor quality, clouds, even rain at one stage. the darks though are weak as I only manged 6 subs plus flats and bias.

SW 100 ED, 0.85 FF/FR, phd guiding through gpusb and eq5 synscan pro. canon 1000 modded at iso100 and astronomik cls clip.

Regards,

nice image! did you attach your camera to your telescope or do you have a big lens for your camera and just piggy back mounted it?
