Black Eye Galaxy LRGB 10" and ED80 (M64)

[tooth_dr]

Quite an interesting galaxy, with the dark dust band over the central portion.  I was struggling a bit with the colour, then I realised I had only 50-60 minutes per channel, so I accept the compromises.  The stars were elongated - balance/tilt issue - but thankfully I think I have sorted this.

RED = 50 minutes

GREEN = 60 minutes

BLUE = 50 minutes

LUM = 2 hours 45 minutes

TOTAL = 5 hours 25 minutes

 

Thanks for looking

Lovely image. I love your colour balance and you've left a nice natural, soft look.

I was going to shoot this target the other night too and thought I'd set up 2 rigs for the first time. I ended up cocking up both setups, imaging with neither and then taking them both down as the clouds rolled in.
