Skywatcher 150/1200, prism de Herschel, DMK51, Barlow 2x, additions de 1000 images + de détails www.astrobin.com/67497/B/
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and Canon 500D at prime focus ( 600mm ) Baader Astrosolar Film Filter..
Comparing this image with the one earlier with a continuum filter, I have to say that a small scope like the ED80 performs better without it. Waste of money ? possibly. May be of more benefit when using a larger scope which is more affected by seeing conditions. Going to try with my 6" Refractor at a later date. I am willing to concede that the Baader Continuum may make a difference when the seeing is not so good.
Processing the image from the continuum filter is also more laborious as the image is bright green to start with, possibly better to produce image from it in mono, but I don't like drab looking suns :-)
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.

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. :)
