M81 Bodes Galaxy

I've been playing with the 'new' Canon XT. I'm starting to get the hang of processing now. I tried some 5 minute exposures the other night and got 7 of them to come out pretty good. (out of 12 taken). These were processed using bias and bad pixel mapping. Since I'm still working on getting my flats taken I just used a "false flat" layer in PS elements and subtracted it so I could remove the vignetting that I have using the DSLR. Anyway I'm pretty happy with the results.

Super Nova SN1120b

I thought I would give this a try as it's not going to be visible for much longer.

14 each 120 second images at ISO800.
