M 81 AND M82 AT LAST

[CELESCOPE]

Well everyone , its been 16 weeks now , and my first clear couple of hours 3 in all , i found i was out of practice being so long away, but at Least i managed two images of which i am fairly happy with ,

Taken with the ED 80, HEQ6 SKYSCAN, Atik 16HR and used the CLS filter, i was pested with passing cloud ,subs varied from 90 secs to 120, the tracking of this mount is amazing , could have pushed this further than 120 secs as the movement was nil, for unguided i was well impressed,

Cheers

That Bode is stunning Rog. Beautiful wispy detail. Still a bit of vignetting?

Chuffed that you have managed to get out again
