M101 - Season closer part 2, forgot to process something!

[ONIKKINEN]

I did mention in my past M106 post that it would be the last image unless i forgot something from the past season. Which i did, this one:

132x 120s presented here at around 1.1''/px. I think its worth a full screen click for the galaxy core alone

Captured early April in decent seeing and at the time i didn't like how i initially processed it so i just left it. Still have an extra 4 hours on this with the Antlia Triband filter which might end up as an Ha layer for this data one day. Still learning how to do that properly so did not make this cut.

This process is sitting much better with me, but may have overdone sharpening on the core. Comments and so on very much welcome as always.

Thank you! The usual; 8'' f/4.4 newtonian + TeleVue Paracorr so effectively f/5

That's very classy indeed. Lovely, going from the extremely faint to a nicely judged core.
