"I was having a nightmare trying to find M81" -

GREAT JOB! this looks REALLY impressive! you HAVE to try some more exposures - do you think it would extract some more details?

Thanks a lot Yeah, a nightmare man I know where the galaxy is, but it's finding it in the narrow field of view of a scope and through the camera's viewfinder! Also, my finder scope isn't aligned because I've had to tape it on (still waiting to get a meade finder). I could get more images of this and make it better, but I'd rather go for something different next clear night.. Cheers
