I have tried and tried to get detail from imaging M101 - The Andromeda Galaxy with my own set up. Last night I used my ST80 and managed to image up to 1 minute with the EQ1 tracking motor working fine. I can see some detail (dust lanes) but I want the ultimate image of this beast. The nearest galaxy to ours, but the most difficult to image.
Meanwhile, the BRT has been doing some imaging for me.
I like this image, the colour is cool!
Here are the details...
