M51 - Colour fixed (I got the data finally)

Heres something I took this week using GRAS 11 and 7

I have spent about 20 minutes on this here at home and I know it needs work. Hopefully I will have time in a bout 2 weeks . I know the colour has problems and there is too much colour background noise but i'll fix that and the stars are a bit marshmallowy (is that a word) but again I cant put some shorter exposure stars behind it later. UIt is about a 50% crop.

Lum taken with the 0.5metre Planewave in New Mexico (60 minutes) and R & B taken with the 17 inch Planewave in Spain (cheaper) - 30 minutes each. Green synthesised (hence the colour problem). Cameras were both FLI ProLine PL11002M.

Used Ken Crawfords MSLDB technique for detail. Hopefully I can fix the colour when I get time to give Kens detail processing credit. Wait for it at the conference - the difference it can make in detail is incredible (even when poorly done by someone like me).

Anyway here it is - back to nametags and presentations for me.
