This impressive sunspot group was captured with a Sky-Watcher 100ED, Thousand Oaks Optical solar filter and Imaging Source DFK 21AU04.AS camera.
Skywatcher 72ED and Atik 314L with UHC and UV/IR block filters piggybacked to main scope on CEM60. 28 subs at 120secs each stacked in Deepskystacker and processed in Photoshop CS2,no flat nor dark frame subtraction.
Pretty clean...
And fast..
This is only 3x900 unbinned.
And on a lighter mount (EQ6)
Shaking my head a bit.....all this struggle with the 30cm scope...........
maybe not worth it.

My 4th and best attempt at M51 although not happy that I had to go to ISO3200. My guide scope was causing me problems which I couldn't seem to sort out quickly. So rather than waste time I decided to go with the higher ISO ( yeah desperate !) to at least acheive something. Of the 91 subs I discarded about 10%
Mein erster Versuch der Deepsky Fotografie. Das Bild ist mit der Canon 6D Mark II aufgenommen und aus 15 Einzelbildern gestackt. Nachgefürt wurde mit den SkyWatcher Star Adventure Mini. Objektiv war das Canon 85mm 1.8

Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy) is a grand design spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away, with a diameter of 90,000 light years, about half the size of the Milky Way, in the constellation Ursa Major. Due to its proximity to Earth, large size, and active galactic nucleus (which harbors a 70 million M☉[5] supermassive black hole), Messier 81 has been studied extensively by professional astronomers.
Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. A member of the M81 Group, it is about five times more luminous than the whole Milky Way and has a center one hundred times more luminous than our galaxy's center.[7] The starburst activity is thought to have been triggered by interaction with neighboring galaxy M81. As the closest starburst galaxy to Earth, M82 is the prototypical example of this galaxy type.[7] SN 2014J, a type Ia supernova, was discovered in the galaxy on 21 January 2014.[8][9][10] In 2014, in studying M82, scientists discovered the brightest pulsar yet known, designated M82 X-2.

Camera was cooking! Very warm after 3 hours. Very humid and dewy. almost thought i was screwed at around 1:00am, as some rather nasty high clouds formed, but they mostly stayed away from Veil area, and were gone after about 1 hour. :)
