NGC4565 2010/11 *colour added*

[MikeD]

I managed to grab 31 @ 5 min's last night, to add to the 29 @ 5 min's from last year.

I also have some colour from last year and at some point get around to reprocessing that to add to this new luminance.

usual setup 10" newt and HX916 CCD.

Very nice indeed.....really good background depth too

[SlipperySquid]

Great framing and oodles of detail! this should be a stunner in full colour!

Thats looking very smooth and detailed, brillant capture... How many hour is this in total counting back over the 2 years of data?

[MikeD]

Thanks all.

Total for the L is still only 5 hours (60 @ 5 min's)

As ever, Mike, you leave me wondering why I (and everyone else) doesn't use a big Newt...

That has really serious resolution and is deeply impressive.

Lovely image - so much going on in both the background and in the galaxy itself. Very nice...

Terrific Needle. That dust lane looks great. All ready for a dollop of colour

[MikeD]

Thanks again all.

Olly, the 250px was my first "proper" scope I got in 2004 ( I think £800 with an EQ6 ).

Apart from my 80ed I got a few years later (to guide and image with), it has been pretty much the only scope I have ever used.

I have used it to image DSO's, lunar and planetary, and it always comes up with the goods, it's a great all-rounder.

I have at last had a chance to re-process the colour from 2010 from scratch and add it to the new luminance.

The image is now:

60 @ 5 min's L

10 @ 5 min's each RGB

Even better with the added colour Mike! A stunner without a doubt

Matt.

[lukebl]

Wow. Absolutely stunning.

[MikeD]

Thank you very much.

The extra data and another years experience in processing has worked well on this.

Mike.

One of my fav galaxies, good colour and the companion top left makes image even better.

Crikey, that's a superb image of a majestic galaxy.

[Beyond_Vision]

Really liking the way this is developing. Another top notch image Mike

Absolutely breathtaking. Both mono and colour are amazing!

[Catanonia]

Cracking re-work of old and new data.

Loving the colour added, nicely done.

[steppenwolf]

Wow, Mike, the colour has made a big difference - a most attractive and crisp image.

[rich_t]

Great detail in the main dust lane and in the background galaxies also. Looking nice in colour too!

[Darth Takahashi]

Very, very, very nice indeed, beautifully detailed with a smooth background to the star...

[ollypenrice]

Yes!

This has that holy grail of qualities, resolution without artifice or apparent effort.

A brilliant image Mike, super image scale and processing.

Superb image with a easy crispness about it.
