M51 from SRO

I am sharing a remote scope at SRO (Sierra Remote Observatory) in California with a small group of astro imagers from the US and UK. We currently have a 10" GSO RC scope on a Paramount ME mount with a QSI 683 camera. We've had a bunch of issues with automation and the collimation of the scope but we're getting some half decent data now. Here's my first attempt at M51 in LRGB.

Edited to add tweaked version. High res here: http://www.astrobin.com/105992/B/

Cheers,
Rick.
