Hello folks,

Here's M101, Imaged on the 7th and 8th April with my 14 inch @ F6.3.

Guiding was, as usual, with my trusty Tal 100R and PHD.

L, R,G & B were all 3 minute subs, R,G & B were binned 2x2.

With not a huge amount of data, I'm pleasantly surprised how this has come out!

Hope you like it smiley.gif

Thanks folks :(

I was hoping to get out tonight and try to get some more luminance subs for it, as I only managed 45 minutes of luminance, which isn't really enough for a good S/N ratio. Consequently, I've had to smooth out some of the fainter areas more than I would have liked due to the noise.

Still pretty happy woth it though :)

I plan to go for this first and try for the outer halo of the Cat's eye in a few weeks, when it's higher in the sky at a civisised hour!

Of course, after a lovely clear day, its now gone cloudy ;)

Cheers

Rob
