M101 L:ASI 183, RGB: QHY367C, FSQ 106

Test ASI 183M, not enough L and no RGB ... so I used old color data from QHY 367C

It's amazing how much detail the ASI can pull out of a 106mm telescope, there would be even more if the color data was taken with it, initial Blue frames show already an improvement ...

No noise reduction was used, a little over 3 hours of L data, the calibration is working 100%, this is a full frame, no amp glow is detected ...

Nice job. I am looking forward to trying my ASI 1600 on the FSQ 106 (at F3)

I think the color is just right.. very nice result, and as you stated, great detail....

Thanks!

ALL ASI data now, some star issues probably due to very wet conditions, overall I like the tint better and Ha regions show better, though no Ha data was used:
