A gaggle of mediocre galaxies before my holid

Hi
During the cloudless skies a couple of weeks ago I managed to get some imaging time in although the seeing conditions were pretty awful. I managed to get NGC 3628 and M51 with the H9 camera and M101 and its companion NGC 5474 with the H36. All were taken with the Takahashi BRC-250. I only managed 10x4 minutes each for the red and green channel for the M101 and NGC 3628 shot, and 10x4 minutes each for RGB for the M51 shot. Unfortunately cloud or day light put a stop to further imaging. I will be revisiting these again when time allows to do them more justice but in the meantime I am reassonably happy with the results considering the time and conditions
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
PS I'm off to Orlando next week for some sunnier, warmer weather
