M101

[astro mick]

Hi.

An image of the lovely spiral M101,a firm favourate with us all.

This is an LRGB image,consisting of 3hrs of Luminance and 2hrs each of RGB data.

Using a ED80 and a WO73 and Atik 314L+ ccd camera.

I have taken some Ha subs as well,but am having difficulty merging this with the RGB for some reason and I don't know why!!!!

Fully calibrated with Bias/Darks and Flats.

Cheers.

Mick.

Lovely image Mick. Detail is really coming through, including the faint arms. There's a slight magenta cast to my eyes, that if removed could bring some more colour balance.

Thanks Lee.

Kind of you to comment.

I will look at the magenta cast.

Lovely image but yes there is a lot of magenta showing on my screen.

Have tried a slight rework.
