Very dim galaxy in Ursa Major. 16 images of 4 minutes each were stacked, aligned and processed in Photoshop. Total exposure time was about 1 hour. Scope gear used: 12" LX200, at F6.3 used with Meade LPR filter.

Camera: Canon 10D @ prime focus
Image details:
3, 4min unguided bulbed images where stacked, aligned, and averaged in Photoshop. I applied a gradient radial mask for helping with a small amount of viginetting caused by the reducer @ 6.3. I then masked a single 30 second image to help resolve the central core a little better.
