First go at stacking and processing M81 Bode's Galaxy

Here are the first results of my attempts with M81. 20 stacked 20 second exposures at ISO3200 with Darks and BIAS. My flats went horribly wrong so not processed.

A lot of artifacts but I think I have teased out some thin outer arm data. Nowhere near as nice as most stuff on here but I think I am developing.1844234961_Bodesstackedprocessed1.thumb.png.1fcf04e2c78849dfd5fe50c3ebfcecd8.png

Good stuff - congratulations!  That's a fairly short total integration time of 400s so, as ever, more data will help!

The dark spots look like dust on your sensor so it may be worth seeing if you can blow it off with a rocket blower or get it cleaned...

I will be looking to increase my data capture as time progresses. I amfairly limited in how long I can spend out at the moment- I have cat medicating duties at 7:15 every morning and being groggy when trying to inject a reluctant ball of fur, fangs and claws is not a good idea!
