Another M51! (Reprocessing Attempt)

[The Lazy Astronomer]

First attempt at M51 with a tiny little 50mm scope. HaLRGB with ZWO294MM @ 2.31um pixel size. Data was very noisy, and looking at it now, the star colours don't seem right to me either, so may try binning and reprocessing on a cloudy night next week.

Thoughts and comments welcome ☺

New and improved (in my opinion) with a less purple hue to the stars.

Binned the original data which helped with the noise, and went less aggressive with the noise reduction. Decided to go with a less tight crop as well - I quite like the way it seems to be hanging out it by itself the vast emptiness of space.
