M 101--RASA vs Seestar

 Conditions here in Charlotte were excellent for imaging last night. I'm still testing the Seestar and picked M 101 as a target. The image below is a processed stack of 299 x 20s images. I'm quite pleased with the result. For comparison, I've also uploaded an image captured by the RASA with a 90-minute integration (its a little larger in size), so the actual imaging times were quite similar. close to $10,000 worth of gear versus $500. Pretty amazing!
