Best I can do with bad data (M51 )

[simmo39]

After getting data and finding not the best Im always loathed just to dump it! so here is a poor go at M51. The main problem is in this thread:

Any help on ideas why its there would be helpfull. Any way to the main show. LRGB M 51 30 x 120s for RGB  and 58 x 120 L. Taken with ASI 1600 mm through my out of collimation SW 120 PDS ( Thats another problem! )

Not one of my best but at leastI pulled something out of the bag. Cant wait till the new season starts as Im not really a galaxy man.

Thanks for looking.

I really like it ! If you want some bad data I could show you my M81 from the 55 minute break in the clouds on Saturday ...

It's not an easy hobby. I've recently had about 6 hours of data messed up because of having my mirror clips too tight. I'll still use and put it up when I get the chance. It's worth it when it all comes together though.
