M81 Last nights effort

[Roy Batty]

Ok so it was not ideal with the moon @ about 3/4 from full but I got about 30 mins worth of data. Had a minor mare with DSS which ended up with a re-install - was dog tired by the time I finished but looking at the result again this morning I think it's not half bad IMO.

BTW -While DSS was doing the processing had a good look at the moon - must say it looked very good last night even right out to the bright edges, probably due to the cold dry air.

Good stuff Roy! The spiral arms are quite clear - you must be pleased with the result.

Yep that's it - thought about cropping it out but changed my mind as I tend to like an image with a bit a sense of the scale.
