M51. Lots of subs!

[RobH]

I posted an M51 that I was quite pleased with back in February, but it suffered from a lot of noise, and had to be stretched quite hard.

This is made up of those subs, and a lot more too.

Ha added to the red channel as a separate layer set to 'lighten'

I could have pushed it a bit more to make it bright, but fine detail started to be lost if I did this so I decided not to.

I quite like it

Just beautiful Rob. I love the star colours, and the detail in the background fuzzies too, not to mention the clarity and contrast in the dust of m51.

Safe journey, see you at Lucksall!
