M101 10 hours Luminance #EXPLORED
Captured over 3 nights this image has gradually grown as I've adapted my set-up for the Atik 460ex. Initally the chip to reducer distance caused some elongated stars in the corners, I then found the larger chip picked up a light leak in my filterwheel, which I replaced.
The image is made up of 10 minute sub exposures combined and processed in Pixinsight and CS5.
