I had not planned to image this last night. I set out to image the Owl nebula and M108 and found it would not fit with the AT6RC as I thought it would. Out of desperation I went to M109 and after throwing out a handful of subs because of flexure this is what I got!

Thanks Trevor, I was not expecting much from this image as I was shooting it...I'll add more subs soon and finish it.
This is a great image Steve. Well done
