M101 with added sparkle

[lukebl]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a capture of M101. Far from perfect, but for me one of my most satisfying images.

Last night I captured some HA, and it positively spark!es now!

ATIK 383L+, 200PDS Newtonian. 65 x 5 minute exposures Luminance. Just 22 x 2 minute exposures for R & B, binned 2x. Sythesised Green channel. 40 x 10 minutes of HA, 2x binned

Original, minus HA

A very nice image of M101. Looking at both images side by side the Ha as definitely put the icing on the cake. You should be very satisfied with your work.
