Been doing astrophotography for a very long time from Liverpool UK, light polluted as hell (Bortle 7/8). I take my images through a 12" f4.75 reflector and a QHY268 mono cam https://www.astrobin.com/users/fornaxtwo/
M51 in LRGBHa
16.5h using a 12” f4.75 reflector QHY268M Camera from Liverpool UK. Processed in PixInsight. The galaxy cluster Zwicky 6057 is visible to the right of the frame, the main galaxy in the cluster is PGC 2293576 which is 66Mpc distant.

Jupiter through a hole in the clouds!
12” f5 reflector with a 2.5x powermate and a ZWO ASI462MC camera, around 1250. frames out of 5000 used, should of used an IR blocking filter, next time 😊 processed in Autostakkert and Registax 6
