M101 in Mono

[astro mick]

This is a difficult Galaxy,and i am struggling with the colour data.This was taken last night,and is a stack of 3 images of 600 secs each.The camera was an MX716.

I will add the colour data when i can get a strong enough signal,and of course lengthy clear skies to amass the data.

Thanks .

Mick.

Looking good so far. It is a difficult target, so prognosis is good!

Coming along nicely. This is indeed a toughie. My first attempt was pretty bad on this so I put it off for a year before redoing, cursing M101 the whole time. Second time around I spent alot more time on it and it came out well. Patience (which I am known to not have) is needed for sure to devote time to this guy, keep at it!!!
