M99

Files captured well over a month ago now but only just got round to processing them. It's quite small so this is a bit of a mega crop. Not seen many version of this on here before.

20 mins (4x10min) of Ha blended into red. 28 mins (7x4) each for RGB and 115mins (7x15 and 1x10) for L. I have no idea why there is one 10 min sub !!!!! Could do with a tad more data to help the background but too low in the sky now.

Processed in AA5 and PS.

Lovely shot. Rather low surface brightness object, so not easy at all

Thanks for the comments guys as it wasn't the easiest of targets.

Nice result Freddie ...as you say could do with more data but to my eyes/monitor the colour looks good! 

Always refreshing to see a galaxy image in nebula season...

Nicely done.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I have a few un processed images of another galaxy so may have a go at processing that later.

Very nicely done. As you say it's not a target we see often on here. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment "laudropb". I'm surprised this isn't imaged more often being a main messier object, though as Michael said it is pretty faint and actually a bit smaller than I initially thought.
