M51

Post by Cheman »

Here is a quick M51. I only took 18 subs @600sec. Less than I would normally do, but then decided to switch scopes to get a narrower field of view so I am now working on the same subject but with the Meade ACF 12 instead of the WO FLT 98. I'll post that also when I'm done.

thanks Rowland
getting the color the way I like it is still sometimes a bit of a struggle for me. I try to not overpower with color.
