M81 first DSO new rig

[Daniel-K]

im so plesed im finally got a image from my setup. tonight it just seem to all come together. its not much is 9x200 no flats or darks yet. im going to experiment with them tomorrow.

im still struggling with guiding at the moment not sure why but im pleased ive got it running.  

I've got a long way go before I start producing images like johns. 

I really like the way the galaxy fills the FOV. I want the emerged feeling when looking at the image.

Great image to start off with Dan, especially the reprocess! I like closely framed galaxy shots myself. It's a skill just finding the galaxy in the first place with a tight FOV, well done it's all coming together now mate
