Last night was pretty warm but I managed to get to image one of the more popular galaxies in the sky. It resides in Ursa Major. The is just the luminance or black and white version. The color picture will follow soon enough.
This is my first attempt at a galaxy with my new SBIG ST8 camera. The exposure was nearly five hours through a 10" newtonian telescope. Looking forward to getting better at this and losing sleep in the process.
