M101 using ZS80FD and Starshoot

Here is my latest.

My autoguiding is getting a little bit better; I was able to shoot this with 5-min. subs. I took three 10-minute subs, but only two turned out, and so they were not used.

Total time on this was 125 minutes.

I think I may have overdone the deconvolution, and I should've taken a flat.

I would welcome comments or suggestions!

Thanks!

Alec,
I'd say your autoguiding looks good and you turned out a fine image.

The image could use a Flat as you say. You can still apply a "pseudo" flat derived form the stacked image. Astroart has plugins for generating a background from an image. Or you can manually generate one in Photoshop.

Nice result fom the Starshoot. Is the Starshoot a one shot color imager?
