Nice shot Stefan!
Your DEC problem is same that i still have in my scope, i am still figuring
out if this due to allignment, electronics or mechanics of the mount.

Looking more interesting all the time. Appears to be HII regions at
each end of the galaxy. I thought that star at the upper right was a
foreground object but with HII around it makes me wonder if it is a
bright cluster in the galaxy instead or just coincidence. Lots of star
formation happened recently in this guy to make it so blue.

It just got pushed up farther on my to-do list.

Last night I tried to investigate a bloom problem I get in very cold
weather. It was too cold. When you fire up the camera and before you
turn on cooling it reports back it is at -42C now that's cold. Seems
the filter wheel stuck and wouldn't turn. Rubber was just too cold or
something. Now, this morning at at toasty -31C it is turning fine.

Stefan,

I love all of those blue knots in this galaxy. M-81 must really have
messed it up!
