M82 LHaRGB

This was captured over night on Saturday into Sunday.

I was using Steve's ( FLO ) William Optics FLT 110 apo which I still have on loan

I was really after the Ha starburst so gave it 4 hours of Ha in 20 min subs. Along with just 12x3 min lum with a CLS filter and 12 binned colour subs in each channel 44:40:56 secs

I'm really pleased with the way the Ha has come out. There isn't much to see on the individual subs but 4 hours really allows you to push the stretching.

Martin, that's a really nice image. I've taken a look at your website for the details and the image makes more sense now. Thanks for the info.

Top Draw Martin.

The ha has been well used in the processing and the colour is spot on.

One for the mags Mate.

Excellent Martin,

The Ha has really brought out the central region. I like the way you've combined it too, sometimes I've seen similar images but they've looked a bit artificial, yours is great

Cheers

Thanks a lot, I glad you liked it. It's nice when it comes out as planned. I used a method devised by Rus Croman for combining the Ha which works really nicely.
