I took these a couple of weeks ago, skies were quite good.  The exposure/stack info is noted on each pic.

Enjoy!

Hi Andy

As Ken says, nice detail in M81 spiral arms - can you clarify, is this a total of 85 seconds made up of 6 frames or is it 6 85 second frames integrated?

Either way great images!

I can only push my mount to about 30 second exposure as I operate in in AZ mode only and have only just got a hint of the spiral arms.

Clear skies

Paul,

The M81 is 6, 85 second integrations, averaged stacked in the Miloslick Camera control software.  Looks like a total of 8.5 minutes total, again average stacked, not cumulative.

Thanks for looking and inquiring!

Very nice. The M82 image clearly shows the SN is fainter than it was, and corresponds well to my visual impression a night ago

Excellent results Andy!! I really like your M81 galaxy image showing the very faint outer extended arms of the galaxy.
