Bernard;
As always, another great image. Several things stand out. The first is the
detail and color of M109. A great image. The next is the number of faint
fuzzy's in the image. I think I can identify 12 other galaxies in the full
size image. The star color is great along with capturing very faint stars.
I have the UCAC 2.0 DB for TheSky 6 loaded and I only show a small fraction
of the stars in your image.

Hi,
Here is an image of M109. I have held off doing it for a long time because I
thought it was too small for my setup, but I was surprised at the detail I
was able to get. I still can't wait to do this with my new CDK17, but until
that is up and running this is what I was able to get.
This is an nice barred spiral galaxy about "85.5+/-25 million light years"
away in the constellation Ursa Major.
