Not a good image, but for 40 minutes I was suprised at the detail. I really had to fight this one, I think the camera is going out, my darks are getting noisier and noisier with hot and cold pixels, which almost completely took up the frame. This was more of a test honestly, my school had only taken photos of M 31 and some nebulae, and no one had done a galaxy outside of that before. so... I did :). Definitely going to replace the focuser and probably the cam as well.

Man, this is such a neat target. I started imaging this last night; I don't have enough exposure yet but it's coming along quickly thanks to my astronomy club's huge scope (Meade LX200 16"). Here's a quick stack of the 1h 10m of exposure I have so far:
