Description

Original: No image calibration done (no darks, flats, or bias frames added in DSS)

Revision B: Calibrated image that includes dark, flat, and bias frames taken the next day

Revision C: Plate-Solved using Unimap on my PC. Image is very low-res, so Revision B would be great for comparing.

Note you can actually start to see some of the spiral arms of M51. You can also see a very rough outline of M101. These widefield photos are really unique, if you can get a long enough exposure, and they can give you a great idea of what's up there!
