M 64 DSLR image.

Hi,
Still playing around with my new setup, and waiting for some cool nights and better seeing.
Couldn't wait so I imaged M64, the heat was problem, even at 4.30 am. I took a total of 24 images before sunrise, only 14 were ok.
Equipement.
Telescope 8" f/4.
Mount HEQ 5 pro mount,
Camera Canon 1100D unmodded.
14 X 120 sec subs, unguided. Still waiting for my auto guider!!!!
11 dark frames.
11 bias frames.
One flat frame.
Stacked in DSS, processed in Photoshop.
Iv'e cropped the image as much as I dare, it was pretty small on the original frames.
Cheers,
Justin.
