johnrt Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Very nice! I'm particularly impressed by the amount of flux you have around the galaxies. It almost joins in a loop across the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StargeezerTim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That is a lovely image Chris! The M51 is excellent but I really love the tight stars and the spikes. It looks a bit like a fairytale scene. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxic Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 thank you very much Tim i like the spikes they are the joys of a newt and because i like them i modded my scope to accommodate them got a bit of wire wool and ran it across the top of the spider vanes (not the sides) they catch just that little bit more light. but i have found that if you flock the sides of the vanes then it really reduces the spikes.

RSM Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice, very nice. Not only the lovely detail and colours in the galaxy and the surrounding clouds, but the stars a wonderful. Like StargeezerTim quoted, almost like a fairytale scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
