It clears the trees at my place about 2am.
It really is quite large, I think it's best viewed through a pair of binoculars.

I apologise, the image quality is crap, I had no tracking.
One was taken using the lens at 100mm the other at 55mm.
It gives you an idea of how BIG this galaxy is.
Can't wait to try the 20d on it. The only fast lens I have is a 50 mm but it should do the job. |
So, it looks like I won't need the scope for this one - 200mm should be heaps
