An electric M82

Well, the color is a bit wrong. Thats what I get for not taking enough color data and trying to push it up in PS. I think my color processing skills are getting worse with experience. But I was happy with the detail that came out in the end. I think in the future I am going to quit screwing around and take 6 hours L and 3 hours each color with this scope/camera configuration. That should give me more than enough data to work with.

Thats a good image Vince. Looks like you have enough exposure time. Unless you have some Astrodon filters that are already weighted for color balance, you need to adjust the exposure times for each color. Some people like to be very exact with there exposures but for me a ratio of 1:1:1.5 works for me. Also be sure your white and black points are set properly in PS and always watch that histogram for clipping.

Vince, colors might not be dead on, but it is surely a wonderful shot! 8)
