Yet another attempt at M81

This time I shot this in LRGB. The gradients were so bad in the RGB, that the left side was pretty much washed out and the right side was dark. So after 3 attempts at processing I ended up with this. I may try again to see if I can keep some of the color in the galaxy.
Specs: 400x60 seconds on Lum, gain 78, 130x60 seconds on each RGB, gain 139. Scope: AT10RC and ASI1600 camera.

Very nice shot you where able to keep the noise level way down making for a very clean image. Next time I get out I need to take a lot more subs.

I wish I could get the blue to show just in the lanes and not in the dark background sky too. It looks great Brian , I've still got stacking to do.

I find this galaxy really hard to do. I’ve tried reprocessing it several times. This was my last attempt.

Brian , that's "Awesome" love all the detail and the star color you pulled out of Bode's galaxy. Great job.
