M51 The Whirlpool Galaxy 2021-2022 WIP

Hello Everyone,

I am still trying to collect more data on this target. I captured 2.5 hours on 4/4/22 to add to last years 4.5 hours for a total of 7.5 hours of integration.

Captured with PHD2 and N.I.N.A. and processed with Pixinsight, Photoshop CC and Topaz DeNoise AI.

Imaged with my Explore Scientific ED102 (w/0.8 FR/FF) at 571mm and my ASI 533 MC-Pro camera.

Still trying to catch more data whenever the skies cooperate! 

Thanks for looking!

Jim

A bit more saturation and slight nr in the low signal areas.

That's very nicely done. Somewhat surreal sitting there isn't it?
