This is another galaxy called the Whirlpool Galaxy shot with the same set up as the previous picture. Both pictures are the result of several (between 30 and 100) individual sub exposures stacked on top of each other and then processed in Photoshop to dial down the noise and bring out the faint galaxy details.

That is a pretty cool galaxy shot there Zero. Here is one I took using my eight inch SCT of M101.

Thinking about driving out that way myself to catch it if the weather will let me.

Love the terminator lying across the maria. Makes for great contrast with the impact craters and such.
