Hi, Just thought I'd share an image I took of M31. I used the StellaCam II through an Orion ST-80. The scope was piggybacked on a Meade LX90 which was doing the tracking. Total exposure time was about 20 minutes.

RS,
Your image of M31 inspired me the try it from my light polluted backyard.
But I didn't get as near as much detail as you did in yours. It was also
taken with a generic ST80 http://www.jatobservatory.org/Galleries/DeepSpaceObjects/slides/NGC224.html

Nice pics and site. I like sites like this. I let you guys take all the pictures and I get to enjoy them without all the work. :-)
The distances to M101 and M51 are a bit off in the captions in your DSO gallery (those numbers sound more like the galaxy diameters).
Shawn .
