M51 Luminance

[Rocket Pooch]

Hi,

I have a whole bunch of data to process of M51 from the 18th, M51 for me has allways proved to be a nightmare to image, not because if the kit, but becaus something allways happens.  For example this weekend the next door G*&T decided to burn rubbish all weekend etc.

Anyway, Wednesday was lovely and clear I had a couple of hours so I managed to get in 36 2 minute binned subs, of which 33 we're used for this image, the following day I applied the 40 2min darks to it and took some flats and flat darks.  Its not brill, but here it is.

I bet the air was blue with your neighbour & his bonfire, I had to chuckle!

Nicely done Chris, there is some very nice structure in those arms.
