M51 - do you believe it?

[paulobao]

Ok, I found that my filters where in the wrong position at the FW.

Instead of R I had a HA and the B was the G and the G was the B. What a mess!

So here the M51 processed as a LHaGB.

Wow! Paulo, that's brilliant - the faint detail you've captured is stunning!

OMG that is one of the best M51's i've seen. Awesome fine detail and colour. But best of all, love the tiny edge-on galaxy nearby......what a beauty!

A simply awesome image!!!!

these c9.25 scopes are so versatile arn`t they, i would love one, i have a 6" sct and i`m wanting to use it for imaging but am unsure how to attach a guide scope to the sct, i was looking at a skywatcher 80mm to attach to it, gan you tell me or have any pictures off how you attach yours,

many thanks
