M51 - a start (LRGB)

[Uranium235]

Hiya,

Heres what I managed to grab last night, and what a clear night it was!

Despite initial problems with PHD playing up, getting the PA right and focus problems caused by a less than great bahtinov mask. The only thing that spoilt it really was the dodgy blue channel (focus slightly off).

Also the 314 was playing up a bit and giving me some big black lines across some of the subs, not sure whether its RF or a power supply issue.

I didnt get a ton of data, but its a good start.

M51:

8x600 (L) 3x600(R,G, - No LP filters

ED80, Atik 314L+, 50mm finderguider

Calib: Flats

Guiding hassle: Moderate

Thanks for looking

Looks pretty spot on to me

Keep going with it. With more subs it will be superb
