M51 a reprocess of older subs

[fwm891]

Weather here is rotten so I've gone back into some old subs of M51 taken in April 2022. 8x 300s subs. ASI533 camera on a TS RC8, a Baader UV/IR cut filter used. Mount iOptron CEM 60 (non EC).

Processing used PI only. With RC's BlurExterminator.

Processing used a luminance mask to switch between subject and background to help with contrast and colour. Desaturate and darken the background, satruration applied to subject.

Thanks for looking.
