M-51 with AT8-RC

[strgazr27]

I was able to shoot this right after I got the CGEPro up and running. This was taken with the new Astronomy Technologies 8" RC and a 2" AT Field Flattener. This is a total of 4 hours worth of 10 minute subs. Comments welcomed :)

Magnificent!

Take some flats to get rid of your dust bunnies there. (Black blobs) I would also give it a real good clean. Is that on your sensor?

I agree ! Very nice !

Sensational image. The new AT RC is similar to the GSO ones released recently? Seeing some very nice images around with those, though they all seem to be using a flattener.

Stunning image. How are you finding the CGE Pro? Was that 10 minutes unguided?

Theres another faint fuzzy top right. NGC5198? If so thats Mag 13.

Way too cool!
