M81 Out of Season

[tomato]

While waiting for the clouds to disappear I have been attempting to process some old data through the latest version of Startools (1.7 which is so much faster now it uses the GPU resource) and affinity photo. This is M81 with the Esprit 150/ASI 178. I am trying to push less hard with the processing, not sure if I am succeeding.

Nice. I liked the previous, colourful version too.

Thanks, it was taken with a mono camera and filters, using a dual rig set up. L integration was 3.9hrs, RGB 1.3 hrs each.

Nice......I have the cooled version

These are uncooled cameras retrofitted with a Peltier cooler and fan, they can maintain 2-3 deg C, so not as efficient as the built in ZWO coolers.

Very nice.
