M51 through the haze

[centroid]

Having got my scope's RS232 problem sorted yesterday, thanks to Steve at BC&F, I was able to give it 'test run' late last night.

Unfortunately, although there were lots of stars visble, there was a veil of thin high cloud, which somewhat 'took the edge' off things.

However, good enough to put the scope 'through it's paces'.

12" LX200R + f/3.3 FR. SXVH-H9C and 6x600 sec subs.

Glad you've got things sorted. Thought there hadn't been much coming from you for a while. Certainly got some nice lanes in that image Dave.

Good to see more images coming out from you Dave plenty of fine details there and the colour looking so natural too :hello1:

Dave, I like the colour, and as Martin says you've picked up some dust lanes - in spite of the high cloud. Well done.

M51 is on my list to do now I'm back in the UK. I'll need to practice a bit first as it's 4 months since I've used my astro gear in anger!.

Good to see you are back in action Dave. You have returned with a good one too.

It's an excellent M51. I hope it is the first of many more.
