A Little color added to M51

[Les Tilly]

Well managed to grab 3 hrs with RGB to add to the Luminance

Played around with the color I think it still needs more time but the weather sucks

3 hrs rgb

2 hrs Luminance

Truly beautiful Les. Nice detail and the colours are fantastic!

I wish I could achieve the same.

Beautiful detail - just look at the spokes from the centre as the arms swirl in.

Very VERY nice

I'm out now trying to add more time to mine but the light mist is ruining the plans.

Lovely colour in yours. Very impressive.

The first looked a little magenta but that extra process has done a very nice job. Excellent M51

Pixinsight... I love it! It does, however, have one caveat: I always have to flip my images horizontally, and I do believe your's is mirrored. Correct me if I'm wrong

I like your image a lot!

Very nice indeed Les. I like the second but would just keep the tiny central core from the first. Do tell me to jump in the lake!!!
