hi guys,
it's been a while since my last post...
my dayjob and other issues kept me quite busy these days,...weeks almost.
nevertheless, I was lucky to find 2 decent nights and time for imaging, too!
M81 was the target. 8.5 hours is not perfectly much total exp. time, but enough for an image at least.
the best part was, it has gotten featured on Universe Today.

within this story by Tammy Plottner you will also find a nice overview taken by Karel Teuwen.
please find all data and my image taken with the 9" TMB And the Starlight Xpress H16, driven with AA4 on my website:
