johnrt Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 This perfect little spiral galaxy lives in Ursa Major, it's a nice size and brightness to capture too. The only difficulty is the area is littered with some really bright stars that played havoc with my background, I think I've managed to deal with the most of it! A nice little imaging run after another bout of weeks upon weeks of cloud - 47 x 10 minute subs with the 6" RC & Atik 460ex in SGPro. Calibrated & combined in Pixinsight and processed in CS5. Thank you for looking, I hope you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filroden Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A perfect little spiral indeed! Nice capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Very nice. Will be doing some colour if the weather allows? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-A Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Very nice. I took a couple of subs of this myself recently, but gave up when I saw the effect of that bright star - great bit of processing to get it looking so clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Another little gem John, weather has been rubbish down our way recently, I didn't get rid of the cloud until nearly midnight last night while the rest of the country was clear.

Yes, I might try some colour, really will depend on the weather though & how that monster star in the fov and the 3/4 just outside react. They really are spoiling the show on this lovely little spiral! 52 minutes ago, Davey-T said: Another little gem John, weather has been rubbish down our way recently, I didn't get rid of the cloud until nearly midnight last night while the rest of the country was clear. Dave I must have got lucky Dave, there were a few blobs floating about earlier in the evening but they all passed north of me, clear here all night! Thanks for the comments everyone! John.

Demonperformer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Very nice. I must say that I quite like monochrome images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, the weather has forced me away from any colour images for about 12 months now, but there is a lot to be appreciated in a monochrome image.
