M51

I've currently got a week off work so I've been playing with data that i wasn't happy with on the first time round.

Here is M51, 74 x 120 subs with my WO FLT98 and QHY183C.

Very nice, showing well the colour-contrast between the two galaxies.

Thanks. I was struggling to get a decent image with this one. I either had nice colour but no detail, or decent details but lacked colour. So I stacked in AatroArt6 and used that for the colour then stacked in DSS and used the autosave (as it really lacked any colour) as a luminance. 

This combination actually worked really well.

Thanks. 

I must admit, I do miss mono imaging.
