Excellent Jeff!
    All I got in March for clear nights were either -30 temps or 40 to 60
MPH winds! Nice to see someone got lucky. :-) The ST10 sure changes the
rules! Your M51 is deeper than I have been able to get with a scope twice
the size using tech pan. The brighter stars look a bit strange on the full
rez image though. Is this some kind of artifact from all the stacking, or
from blooming repair? The rosette is equally impressive. The Bok globules
just seem to be "hanging" there.
    M81 looks a little bit too orange to me. I am guessing that when you
inserted the CCD luminance that the colours from the PPF shot went a bit
weird? This happens a lot when inserting tech pan into a colour image. Bobby
M. posted something on this just recently, sorry I can't lay my fingers on
it at the moment. Same result though, the final image goes pink or orange.

Great stuff!

Hello all,
Hope all is well.  Finally getting finished on March.  We have had a very
nice break after a rough winter.
