Below is my first test run image of M51. It's about 30 minutes of data, using 30 second light frames (anything longer under these circumstances would have brought in too much light pollution). It's not great at all but this is what you get under heavily light polluted skies, thin clouds and no filters. When I get out under dark skies, with guiding in place, this object will appear very nice indeed.

guest blogger invitation
Hello,
This is Rose writing from www.huliq.com. I visited your blog and liked your content.
Would you be interested to send us a guest post on any of the issues related to the topics that you cover in your blog. We will publish it in our site www.huliq.com
In return with each guest blog we will give one link in the author's byline back to your blog. We only ask that the guest post ( we prefer it be a news coverage, sources can be Google News, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo News, BBC and others) be a unique story and not be published in your blog.
HULIQ is indexed by Google News and Google requires that the length of the unique news is at least 5 paragraphs. We desire it to be at least 6 paragraphs if possible. And that all need to be a unique content. Once you send us a new story totally unique we will immediately publish it with you link in it, and within 15 minutes it should be indexed by Google News.
Also, please structure author byline as follows:

Please let me know if you may have any questions about www.huliq.com.
If you want to consult the topic with me first that's perfectly fine as well.
Many thanks

Hi Phil! That's a very nice capture of M51. It's one DSO that I still have to observe. Hopefully I'll get around to it quite soon! I can sympathize with your situation. My next door neighbors have a fluorescent light in their kitchen that beams out into the back garden. I may buy them a blackout blind as a Christmas gift this year :-) I look forward to seeing the dark sky version of this.
Clear skies,
Ewan
Thanks, Ewan!
Hello,
Nice blog and nice photo of M51. My attempts haven't been that good with clear skies, so I eagerly await your next attempt under better conditions...
