Hi,

Wanted to share this image. Gathered Ha as well but did not use.

Hmmm, that has lots to say! I'm surprized there's no Ha layer in there though your red channel seems to have picked it up very well indeed.

WOW!! That is wonderful

I really do like your processing Mark, you are very good at maintaining star colour and getting the best out of your target. This is a great image, with some lovely colours.

Packed with colours and details Mark - it's simply superb

[Chris]

Really stunning image the reds are really popping.

Nice.

[Welrod50]

Great capture. Well done

[Daniel-K]

not your usual kind of target Mark but its good to see M101 up close.I mean come on the detail going in around that core is brilliant. As olly stated considering theres no HA layer in there theres loads popping through great image again!

[andyo]

Fantastic job Mark.

That's a fantastic rendition Mark, you didn't need the Ha data it would seem, look at all those HII regions, great! Perfect colouring and balanced intensity across the galaxy disc too!
