Hi all this is my 2nd go at the M51, phd would not work so I tried to do a manual guide. After just over an hour of looking at the grid my eyes could not focus properly any more. Here are the details, home made 200mm 5.6 newt, home mod 30D, 16x5 minute subs, 10 darks and 5 flats, all CC welcome,,,,Paul.

nice image, the cores are a bit burnt out...I have suffered from the same problem and to be honest I only get there with blind luck as I find this Galaxy damn hard to process.
