M51 and M82, M83 using my Carbonstar 200 mm scope. These are the first images captured since getting my QHY268M camera back from China. It had been out for repairs to the dew heating system and to clean the inside of the optical window that was covering the sensor. Filters were 25 year old Astrodon LRGB series E. Mount is my trusty 25 year old Losmandy G11. Took some work to remove artifacts of light pollution. Unfortunately some still remain.
