Picked an easy one-M51 only 6x180 secs as I had problems getting the guiding to fix on a star.

That is an excellent shot as MartinB has previously stated for this time of year and only 18 minutes of data. Was this taken with the MX716?

[Martin 2]

Yes, Mx716, star2000 for guiding and scope at 6.3

Nothing left but to agree, to be fair.. Truly lovely shot, especially for 18 mins, and, as MartinB pointed out, June sky. Superb start for the obsy as they say, good start-half job done, or something like that.. 8)
