First go at multi night imaging, using the ASIAIR platesolving and goto capability on prior images.

John,

Great image- well done
M51 is one of my favourite Galaxies

Unfortunately I am unable to do any observing and try imaging right now- I accidently dropped my scope and the lens is damaged  :cry: - trying to arrange to get it fixed
