Many people don't realise just what you go through to get your World class images Leo... but having endured significant imaging hardship for a number of years myself, transporting this setup back and forth on a regular basis (sometimes a few times a week) to my dark site, I know it takes some real tenacity and enthusiasm to keep it up (that pier column alone weighs 50kg btw )...at least I didn't have to contend with 1m of snow!. So... a big salute to your efforts!

This is a fine M51, the arms are particularly impressive showing some very fine details, 4 years well spent
