Last Night (15 Jul) Cygnus from Riberac.

Modified Canon EOS350D with 35mm lens at F5.6 ISO800.
29 x 5min exposures.
Guided with ED80.

This is a work in progress. No filters were used, I've done a background and dark subtraction but no flats or gradient removal.

This one below is a 3x3 binned version of the whole frame

Second time they've published it - it earned me a second £10 and a second complimentary mag ...

Nice one Mark, you certainly have good skies for that type of image. It's good to hear about your M81 again, you must be very chuffed ;)
