M101 and faint NGC 5422/5474 with Equinox 80

[Dannyefc87]

First real astro image with a respectable amount of data/darks/flats and bias (other attempts have been quite short exposures compared to this one) a little over processed IMO but best I can manage with my very limited skills ha. Any advice/constructive criticism is very welcome. 

M101 and friends - SW Equinox 80, Canon 100d, HEQ5 Pro, Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CC

134 x 60 second exposures - 20 darks - 20 flats - 10 bias

 

Thx for looking.

Very nice image, with a good amount of detail in the galaxies arms.

The background seems to have a green cast. If you were using PixInsight, I would suggest using SCNR noise reduction. In PS you probably have to work with colour balance to minimise this.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the input   I'm still trying to get to grips with the processing. I know there's a lot more detail to be had out of these subs but turning it into an image is beyond me at the moment, but as they say practise makes perfect.
