Hi all,
This is the first time I have imaged M51 - I'm pretty happy with the results for only 2 hours of imaging time. Lights only, no darks, flats or bias.
Image details: 11x600s, 1x300s at ISO3200. Imaged on Pentax K-3 (cooled) with Hutech LPS Filter.
Mount: NEQ6 Pro
Scope: Skywatcher ED100 with 0.85x reducer at F7.65
Guiding: Orion SSAG + 80mm Shortscope + PHD Guiding 2
Edited in Deep Sky Stacker and CS4.
