My attempt at M51

[dmahon]

Wrong scope (Equinox 80) on the mount for this, but it was the best thing I could think of setting the scope to take snaps of before I went to bed. 2.5 hours of 600sec subs taken with SGP. Stacked in DSS and final alignment with Nebulosity 3 (to align the RGB bin2 with the L data). Minor processing in PS3.

Sorry Dave - I missed this one. Nice level of detail showing there.

So you've SGP and Elbrus working together then?

great detail in there, the colour is great & there is a little halo starting to come through. Great Stuff!
