M51
It's been a long, cloudy winter and I haven't captured any good images since late fall. I have been doing some testing of various equipment during cloud breaks and recently noticed some excellent seeing (relative to the normally horrible conditions here), so took advantage of it to image M51. I didn't have RGB filters installed, as I usually do only narrowband imaging at my home observatory, so I just captured luminance and added color from an older shot of M51.
Captured with a QSI583wsg, EdgeHD 8" with 0.7X reducer, on AP Mach1.

Nice job Greg, I like the color on it (not in your face bright). Marc

Thanks, Bob. It's a good target and one of the few non-narrowband targets I can capture here. It's relatively bright and always in the northern sky, while my light pollution is all to the south.
