Reprocess of M51, plus 11 minutes of M3

Using a better processing pipeline, I am getting a bit more colour out of M51

I also salvaged just 11 out of 30 subs of M3.

Not bad, for such a short exposure

Couldn't resist tweaking the M51 image a bit to improve contrast

This has a bit more detail, at the expense of some additional noise. More data needed, as ever

As promised Michael your colour data, plus my mono from the same subject (shot on Sunday evening):

Was the colour shot with a DSLR? Feels like it becuase I had to remove quite a bit of background blotches/noise.

Here's my take on combining them

with some pushing of saturation
