First light...

Hi all, this is my first image post on here and my first imaging run in 6 years!! 

Ok, so it wasn't much of a run..... 2 x 4 min subs then my laptop battery died

Well this was taken through the 127 triplet + flattener and Atik 428. Guided using QHY5 II + 102ED.

I'd appreciate you guys and gals taking it to pieces in a critical way... I know there's lots wrong with it and most of that I can spot but a 1000 pairs eyes are better than 1

Very good - M81 one of my faves.    Stars are nice and round.  It would be nicer to have it more centrally framed.  Clearly much more data is required but it's a good start!

Apart from the framing its a great start

Cheers folks. The learning curve is very steep again!

Great image and I for one don't mind the off centre framing - well done!
