Swelling Spiral Galaxy M61

I normaly only image on the east side of the meridian due to the Brisbane city lights being to my west but this time I had a go at this faintish galaxy M61 on the nth/west side.

Pretty happy with the final image and very happy with how the mount was tracking....would have liked more of the spiral arms but what can I expect imaging at F10 2500mm Focal length.

20 x 4 minute autoguided exposure's ISO800
Canon 350D on 10" LX200R Losmandy G11 mount.
