M51 again

[MikeD]

Marginally better skies last night but lots of passing cloud ( got rained on twice) and strong wind messed with the guiding a bit.

only managed 10 @ 5 Min's between the clouds so the image is quite noisy but the small improvement to the sky glow produced a deeper image than the other night despite only having nearly half the subs to stack, so I will keep at it and hope for some better conditions soon.

This was a quick process last night calibrated with flats, bias and darks from the previous session( the cam has been moved between shots) so I will redo this with the right calibration shots from last night and add the two data sets later.

A blistering image Mike, looks very opulent despite the lack of the data you wanted.
