 m51-030329.jpg -    Object:   M51 - Whirlpool Galaxy     Date:   March 29th 2003     Instrument:   LX200 10" f/10 + 0.33 FR     Camera:   SXV-H9     Exposure:   9x 3 minutes     Filters:   Orion Skyglow     Comments:   Unguided and taken with a f/3.3 FR @ f/3.7. The sky was hazy, and the polar alignment not perfect. I took some flat fields this time, but the method used needs improving (cloth over the dewcap, LED torch on top of the LX200, and pointed the lot at my shed!) - I need a proper diffuser
