Love this! 

An object we all know like the back of our hand, and yet hardly anyone bothers to image <shamefully looks at self...>

Really surprised to see so much dust too. What are your skies like? 

[wimvb]

Excellent image. Quite a few messier objects in this image. Even M81/82 are just visible in the upper right corner.

[Ouroboros]

M101 top left too. Is the dark patch just above M101 something too? 

Lovely image. I do like these wide field shots.

It's surprising, how many more than "a few" there are. Upload to astrometry.net, or a bit of hunting should reveal at least 6 messier objects, plus a fair share of ngc's. Faint and small, but visible.

i did just that but i had to do each panel separately then overlay them but yes your correct there are a bit more than a few lol.

And your next job is to get a decent-sized image of each of them. That should be the 2020's sorted ...
