Hello,

Here is a M51 I took with a modified Vesta Pro webcam. It's a stack of multiple 30s, 60s and 90s exposures. I know the quality is very poor but it's the best for me so far smile

forgot to mention. This picture was taken in town with mag 3 sky. The lens is a canon FD 300mm at F2.8.

Clear skies,
GY

Yu,

I think it looks awesome. I am awaiting delivery of a SAC8 camera and will be very happy if I can get images that look like this. By the way, I have greatly admired your images of Jupiter as well. Keep posting.

Nice one!
Here is my best attempt at that one with A cooled Vesta Pro and an LX90.
