M81 and M82 9 x 4m subs, Minolta Dynax D7, Orion Skyglow SCT filter, Baader Alan Gee II Telecompressor, guided with SPC900NC with B/W chip modification and PHD. Processed in Deep Sky Stacker and The Gimp. There is a lot of vignetting caused by the Skyglow filter moving the CCD too far away from the focal reducer flattener. If I don't use the filter I only get orange skies. Link-words: Messier Galaxy Duncan
