Hi all. I finally got another opportunity to image last night and decided to collect luminance data all night on M51, the Whirlpool galaxy. I managed to get 80 frames of 300 seconds each, for a total of 400 minutes. The seeing was pretty good for Utah, and I managed to get some really nice detail for such a small instrument (AP130 EDF at F/6). Take a look at this link. http://www.allred-astro.com/gpage8.html Be sure to click the images a few times to get the full version. Cheers, Tyler
