First attempt at adding colour to my M51

[assouptro]

Hi all

I originally posted my Lum later a couple of nights ago.

Since then I have been trying to add some colour.

I have cobbled my first attempt and would like to share for any constructive criticism.

There’s just over an hour of each RGB 2x2 and a couple of hours Ha 2x2 thrown into the red channel as a luminance, about 30%.

I may start this one from scratch as I can see it’s over processed. 
 

thanks for looking

There was a bit of green gradient below the Galaxy and most other samples I see have more saturation so I tweaked it a bit 

Thanks for looking. I promise not to keep adding to this thread and will leave this for now.

Stay safe
