Finally broke out my little telescope for some more imaging. I've shot pretty much everything I can from my back yard so I'm going back and adding images to stack. First up is M51 which I've posted a few times. This is a little over 3 hours of 10 second images stacked. Quite a lot of detail for something that is 30 odd million light years away.

I have a pretty dark site. I think (not sure) a lot of these peole have invested very large sums into their rig with the scope, mount, camera and such and to them they want to see what it can do and don't live in the right spot for certain things. I know there's a huge industry of going observing and doing astrophotography in the southern hemishere to get new things.
But pretty sure it's more about the investment into the rig over long periods. Maybe it's just me. The amount did not seem that high considering the multi multi thousands each rig cost.
