M101 - Pinwheel Galaxy

[Dan13]

First part of a project on M101 for me and first attempt.

I had planned 4 hours total on this but I lost two hours due to a light leak in my DSLR.

This is 

97 lights @ 1 min exposure iso 1600
45 Darks
45 bias
25 flats

Stacked and processed in pixinsight 

Skywatcher 130pds 
Canon 600d ( modded)
HEQ5 mount using EQmod
Unguided 

Still plenty to play with here and look forward to adding to the data .

Very nice, could do with trying to bring up the colour a little.
