M51 Final

I decided to go for a wider crop as the image was just too noisy close in!

2hrs in 3 and 5 min subs along with darks,flats (Now working!) and BIAS frames.

I like the 'natural' feel that this image has, I deliberatly made small enhancements in the processing as opposed to a big stretch and then loads of noise reduction.

Nice one Craig ! I like the feel too

I'm 'avin' a crack at this whilst I type

Very nice Craig. I'm just restacking last nights data with another couple of hours (nearly) from tonight. I'll look at cropping into it too.

Looking good, the extra few hours should make some further improvements too
