I'm working on M51 and NGC 4656 )Needle Galaxy. Hopefully can finish the color in the next 2 weeks. But had to try out one of them to see how it was coming. This is 243x180 Seconds of Lum, with ASI1600 on an RC10".

I would need translation to know what you're talking about, lol. But I do like the image.

Wow! Very impressed and can't wait to see the finished product. Are you doing RGB or narrowband?

Thanks rmorrison and Jay.

I'm shooting RGB. I'm also going to try to add a little Ha to it as well.

Great start. You will like what adding Ha does to the final image.

Excellent as usual. I'm hopefully picking up my ZWO ASI294 and a ASI290 today to restart my astrophotography delusion. I'm hoping practice will get me shots as good as yours.

Nice shot Europa. The clouds cleared out around here yesterday afternoon and I finally got out last night/early this morning. I also took a bunch of subs of M51 that I have just started to process and hope post the results soon.

Thanks everyone. Ballard, we’ve been having some clear nights as well. I was shooting green last night and I went to shut down around 2am to find that I never started PHD....darn!
